What is NYT Sudoku?

Your favorite online game will quickly convert into a free NYT SUDOKU puzzle.

Who created NYT Sudoku?

According to this Economist article, a Swiss mathematician invented a game called "Latin Squares" in the 18th century, which is where sudoku got its start. Some of the first word puzzles with numbers were created in France in 1895. The modern Sudoku game, however, was created by Howard Garns, a free-lance puzzle maker from Connersville, Indiana, in the United States. It was first published in the Dell Pencil Puzzles and Word Games magazine in 1979. You had to fill in precise numbers on a 9 9 grid, hence the name "Number Place."

When "Sudoku" first appeared in Japan in 1984, it was given the name "Sudoku." "Sudoku" is an abbreviation for the full Japanese phrase "Sji wa dokushin ni kagiru," which means "the numbers are confined to one occurrence." It is still quite popular in Japan, where over 600,000 publications are purchased each month.

Game Rules

To complete a NYT SUDOKU problem, a 9x9 grid must be filled with numbers, and each column, row, and 3x3 square must have a number from 1 to 9. Certain squares on the 9x9 grid will be filled in at the start of the game. To complete the grid, you must logically add the missing digits.

  • There may be many instances of the same 1 to 9-digit number in any row.
  • There are several occurrences of the same number in any column from 1 to 9.
  • Any 33-grid from 1 to 9 contains multiples of the same number.
