Sudoku 4x4 – Expert

This expert-level Sudoku 4x4 puzzle is crafted for advanced solvers who are comfortable with complex logic and minimal clues. Unlike easier levels, expert puzzles often require multi-step deductions, pattern recognition, and a strong grasp of solving techniques. It's ideal for players who enjoy deep thinking within a compact puzzle format.

Puzzle Characteristics

  • Difficulty: Expert
  • Grid Size: 4x4 (four rows and four columns)
  • Regions: Four 2x2 subgrids
  • Clues Provided: Very few, increasing the complexity
  • Logic Level: High – may involve techniques like candidate elimination, advanced scanning, and cross-region analysis

Puzzle Clues

  • Row 1: blank, blank, 1, blank
  • Row 2: blank, blank, blank, blank
  • Row 3: 3, blank, blank, blank
  • Row 4: blank, blank, blank, 2

Objective

Fill in every empty cell so that each row, column, and 2x2 region contains the numbers 1 through 4, with no repetition. The solution must be reached through logic alone—no guessing or trial-and-error.

Recommended Techniques

  • Candidate Elimination: Determine which numbers are possible for each empty cell based on surrounding values.
  • Cross-Referencing: Use information from rows, columns, and regions simultaneously to reduce options.
  • Double/Hidden Pairs: Spot pairs of numbers confined to the same cells to eliminate them from others.
  • Recursive Logic Chains: Follow the implications of placing a number to reveal hidden constraints.
