Does this tool solve the whole Sudoku puzzle?

No. It explains one logical next move at a time so the player remains in control of the solve.

Does Explain My Next Sudoku Move guess?

No. It asks the Sudoku Paradise human-style hint engine for a logical placement or elimination and does not use Trial and Error as a hint.

Can I use a Sudoku puzzle from another source?

Yes. Paste an 81-character puzzle into the import box, select r1c1 and paste it directly into the grid, or enter the givens one cell at a time. Use zero or a period for each empty cell when pasting.

One Deduction, Fully Explained

Explain My Next Sudoku Move

Paste or enter your current Sudoku position and ask for one human-style logical deduction. Sudoku Paradise identifies the strategy, shows the relevant cells and candidates, explains why it works, and leaves you in control of whether to apply it.

Step 1

Load the Current Position
