* Sudoku (数独, sūdoku, digit-single) (/suːˈdoʊkuː/, /-ˈdɒk-/, /sə-/, originally called
* Number Place) is a logic-based, combinatorial number-placement puzzle.
* In classic sudoku, the objective is to fill a 9×9 grid with digits so that each column,
* each row, and each of the nine 3×3 subgrids that compose the grid (also called "boxes", "blocks", or "regions")
* contain all of the digits from 1 to 9. The puzzle setter provides a
* partially completed grid, which for a well-posed puzzle has a single solution.
