Editor's take
Sudoku 9x9 is exactly what its title advertises: the classic grid, three difficulty levels, and hints when you need them — no gimmicks, no theme, no reinvention. The implementation covers the essentials competently: clean number entry, a readable grid, and difficulty tiers that mean what they say — easy boards yield to basic scanning, while hard ones demand candidate notation and real technique. The hint system is generous enough to function as a tutor for newer players, showing the logical next step rather than just filling an answer. It plays well on mobile and desktop alike, with number input that stays out of your way during long sessions. In a shelf full of sudoku variants chasing novelty, there's something to be said for the plain version done right — and this is that. For daily solvers wanting a dependable board in the browser tab, it earns its bookmark.

Strategy tips
Start each board by scanning for gimmes: numbers appearing five or more times usually force several immediate placements. Pencil-mark candidates only when a cell narrows to two options — over-noting creates clutter that hides the real deductions. When stuck, switch techniques: if scanning stalls, look for naked pairs or box-line reductions instead of scanning harder.
