Step by step example of solving a sudoku puzzle

Step 38   Let’s look at the middle box (where DEF cross MNO). We can’t put a 1 in cell DN because there’s a 1 in cell DR – remember the main sudoku rule - you can’t repeat the same number twice in a column or a row. We can’t put a 1 in cell EO because there’s a 1 in cell EJ. Therefore, the number 1 must be in cell FN.
