Step by step example of solving a sudoku puzzle

Step 4   Let's look at the box on the upper left side (where ABC cross JKL). We can't put 1s in columns J and K because there are 1s in cells EJ and IK, respectively. Sudoku play rules prohibit using a number twice in the same column. Therefore, the only available cell for a 1 in this box is cell CL.
