<h3>How to Play Sudoku/Soduko</h3>
The aim is to place numbers between 1 and 9 in blocks of between two and nine empty cells running horizontally and vertically inside a larger grid. The sum of each block should match the target number, or clue, which appears inside blacked out cells, divided into two by diagonal lines, at the top (for vertical problems) or to the left (for horizontal ones) of each empty block. No number may be used more than once in each block, so if the target number is 4, and there are two empty cells, the two numbers required are 1 and 3, not 2 and 2.
