What I learnt from Sudoku

 Sometimes I keep trying to use same way of counting numbers to find clues in sudoku. And then I realize that I need to change the way I count. Instead of doing squares of 9 and by doing one digit after another in the matrix, I need to count vertical and horizontal rows for clues for example. Sometimes doing so yields understanding of relationships that wouldn’t otherwise be obvious…. You don’t force things. Instead you gotta learn to take and use what you get. Work with what you get. Instead of focusing on 1 digit at a time in the entire matrix, focus on the relationships. And then the puzzle solves itself. That’s how you win at the expert level. Sorry I am bad at explaining this well.
