Sudoku became a worldwide puzzle phenomenon in the mid-2000s, and it's stayed popular because the rules never change even though every puzzle does. There's no arithmetic involved โ just logic and process of elimination. The easy puzzle here is a good warm-up; the hard one holds fewer starting numbers, so you'll lean more on deduction than on the obvious first moves.
