Solve With Me | Follow Along: How to Solve a MEDIUM Sudoku Puzzle - Episode 6

Thanks sir.

Yes, I learned something!!! 👏👏👏👍👍 Thank you!! Keep doing the videos.

Love the way you explain things so logically. I am learning something for sure. Thank you.🙏

Love how you think outline aloud. It makes it easier to understand. Glad I found this page and please lets solve more actual puzzles together!

You went too fast for a beginner like me who wants to try medium hard puzzles.

I got lost when you started talking too fast. I really want to graduate from doing the easy puzzles to the medium puzzles. Help!!!!! I watched your #1,2,&3 instructions. I can do the easy puzzles but the medium boggle my mind.

Why is it ३० mins?????

I am just starting picking up playing sudoku and I’m devouring your videos. However, I don’t understand why you start working with the 9’s after factoring in the 5’s. I don’t get that step. Please explain. Thank you

Was very helpful

I find the solve with you ones very good and helpful. This was a nice mixed level too. Thanks.

First you miss a 39 par, then a naket 5...

I did not understand

Love your videos. The pacing is great and your explanations very clear. The ‘solve along’ are great because it allows me to see the strategies and techniques you describe in your other videos put into practice. SO helpful.

Your thinking aloud is so helpful. Thanks

Following along works great for me. Episode 6 gave me a greater respect for matching airs.

One method that is so logical, easy to understand and I am totally convinced with the way it progresses.

Pl

This was so great! You gave me some more terminology to use and some helpful strategies I didn’t know about. Just getting started and I feel like this is going to give me a huge leg up!

I just found these. I am buying a sudoku book.

Very helpful! I'm so glad I found you. Just what I needed to move past the easy puzzles and improve my game.

9 in box 3 can´t go in matching 1;2 pair, can it?

Great tutorial, I've been doing medium sudoku for awhile but started using snyder notation only recently. Your pace is perfect. Allow ing time to see the reasons for the moves. Thanks

An alternative approach to increase the fun, without making notations. I like the NY Times Medium, which occasionally are trickier than the hard level. First a good look at the grid and you start by placing all the 5s on the grid in a few seconds. Then, for more amusement, you solve all of block 3, which only has a given 5 in it. Typical NY Times restriction: the 1 and 2 pointinf from the left in row 3 and the 1s and 2s occupying col 7 and 8 in the lower blocks on the right side of the grid, all forcing a 12 pair in rows 1 and 2 of col 9: this places the 7 in r2c7 and the 9 next to it. The rest of the puzzle can be quickly solved from there. Most enjoyable puzzle.

Thank you so much for all of these. I am following your lead to get to a higher level
Of sudoku so I had to reteach myself
A new method and I’m doing yours which has backpedaled me a bit because it’s all new. You do a great job of explaining and when you work through the levels of puzzles and tell what you are doing and why it is so helpful.

Thank you 🎉

Loved this

Yes, I loved solving this with you! I also love that you you use different colors. Wish I could do that on the NYT puzzles. You are a wonderful Sudoku teacher!!

Many thanks, you did a great job of explaining how you made each decision.

What's weird is, I have a book labeled, MEDIUM and it has fewer numbers on the puzzles than most medium grade puzzles on sudoku websites. Some only have two numbers in the block with nine boxes.

Great instructional video! Best I've found so far to help bridge the strategic skill set needed for the jump to medium level. Precisely what I've been looking for. "Solve along with me" was just the right pace. Thank you!

Loved this! Just what I needed to help me think through new strategies and up my game from the easy puzzle. I felt like I was learning this with a friend. Also loved the cicadas in the background 🙂

Just learned about the max 2 Snyder notation from this vid. Very useful! I use to over clutter my puzzles with so many candidates per box it became a nightmare!

Lovely voice and presentation

I wish this had helped, but I’m still stumped. When I try in a new puzzle I always hit a place we’re I must guess, and I ALWAYS guess wrong.

Thanks a lot for a very helpful video !!!!❤❤❤❤❤

Very helpful to do "solve with you!"

I really appreciate your stream of consciousness thinking and especially not covering up the mistakes. I really do learn with your style of exposing strategies and the various situations they show up. It really helps the pattern recognition. ❤❤

I've been playing easy puzzles for months and just started trying medium puzzles. Thanks for teaching me several next-level strategies!

yes love the solve more with you. thank you.

Thank you for explaining clearly why ypu can and cant do something!

The Snyder notation was helpful. I recently moved up to the medium puzzles, but was keeping it all in my head and not using any kind of notation. This has shaved down my time and made it easier. :)
