About This Expert Sudoku Puzzle
This expert Sudoku for Wednesday, June 24, 2026 (6/24/2026) starts with 25 given numbers and has exactly one solution. A logic solver places 9 of the 56 empty cells with 5 naked singles, 4 hidden singles and 5 locked-candidates steps before it stalls.
Hardest technique needed: beyond the guides on this site. A solver using singles, locked candidates, pairs, triples, X-Wing, Swordfish and Y-Wing stalls with 47 cells still empty, so expect to need longer chains. The puzzle still has exactly one solution.
