Using Colors to Solve Puzzles More Easily

Colors make sudoku more fun, but did you know they also make puzzles easier to solve? Your eyes can spot colors faster than numbers!

Here are some colorful tips:

Look for missing colors in each row and column

Use bright colors to mark your paper when practicing

Think of each color as having its own personality

Create color patterns to help remember rules

Try this game: Choose a color and follow it across the whole puzzle. Where does it appear? Where is it missing? This color-tracking technique helps you spot opportunities!

Some puzzle masters even give their colors names or imagine them as characters in a story. The blue squares might be lakes, the red ones could be apples!

Remember: When numbers seem tricky, let the colors guide you to the solution!
