What Is Boston Globe Sudoku?
Boston Globe Sudoku is a daily Sudoku puzzle published on BostonGlobe.com, powered by the Amuse Labs platform. Each day three difficulty levels are available: Easy, Medium, and Hard. Like all standard Sudoku, the goal is to fill a 9×9 grid so that every row, every column, and each of the nine 3×3 boxes contains the digits 1–9 exactly once.
Tips for Solving Boston Globe Sudoku
Start with the rows, columns, and boxes that already have the most digits filled in. For Easy puzzles, basic scanning — looking at which digits are missing in each row and column — is usually enough. For Medium difficulty, look for naked pairs and hidden singles. For Hard, advanced techniques like X-wings or pointing pairs may be required.
