What is Sudoku?
Sudoku is a puzzle that involves typing numbers in the right places on the board based solely on simple logical reasoning, and the only rule of the game is the principle that each of these numbers can appear only once per row, column and a group of cells. The appearance of the board depends on the variant of the game. In the classic version of Sudoku, the board is a square covered with a 9 x 9 grid composed of smaller 3 x 3 boxes (groups of cells), and the game consists in filling the cells with numbers from 1 to 9. If you do not know how to play Sudoku, read the rules and guidelines which will help you quickly solve your first puzzles.History of Sudoku
The origin of the name of this puzzle is the result of the popularity it gained in Japan, but its origin is quite different. The origins of the game go back as far as Euler's Latin squares from 1780, and the modern Sudoku board appeared for the first time in 1979 under the name of "Number Place" in the American magazine Dell Magazines. Shortly thereafter, the Japanese reprinted the game giving it the name of Sudoku. The Japanese name is written with the following symbols 数 独. The first symbol (i.e. kanji) is translated as number, and is pronounced: su. The second kanji means sole, single, and is pronounced: doku. Thus, the whole word means "single number", which captures the essence of the game.How ranking is created?
