Animal Sudoku

🐾 Animal Sudoku

Animal Sudoku swaps numbers for cute critters while keeping the classic Sudoku logic intact. Place animals so that each appears only once in every row, column, and 3×3 block.


🎯 Objective

Fill the entire grid by placing animals without repeating any animal in a row, a column, or a 3×3 sub-grid.

📜 Rules & Gameplay

  • The Grid: A 9×9 board divided into nine 3×3 blocks.
  • Placement: Tap/click a cell and choose the correct animal. Each animal may appear once per row, column, and block.
  • Notes: Use pencil marks to keep track of possible animals in a cell.
  • Tools: Many versions offer hints, undo, and error highlighting—use them sparingly for a better challenge.

🧠 Strategy Tips

  • Scan lines: Check which animals are missing from each row/column.
  • Singles first: Fill cells that have only one possible animal.
  • Cross-hatching: Use intersections of rows and columns to eliminate options within a block.
  • Pencil smart: Keep notes tidy and update them as you place animals.
