Step by step example of solving a sudoku puzzle
Step 19
Let’s look at the top middle box (where ABC cross MNO). We can’t put a 5 in cell BN because there’s a 5 in cell BQ. Remember, a sudoku column must contain all numbers from 1 to 9. Therefore, the only available sudoku cell for the number 5 is CN.
