I'm glad I found this video. I discovered this on my own and dubbed it the "right angle matching pair". At first I was concerned that it didn't always work but this video confirms my "discovery". It's been a huge help in solving puzzles. Thank you Sudoku Guy.

[@SudokuGuy]

Glad I could help! Robin

I always find that kind of chain inference hard work, great explanation here, thank you!

[@SudokuGuy]

Glad it was helpful! Robin

[@bensonpslau1857]

I wish to know how do you assign the blue and red colours to the pairs. In which video I can learn it?

[@SudokuGuy]

Look for a matching pair then decide either red or blue and if the matching pair is connected to another matching pair you must give it the orter colour and so on. Hope this helps Benson. I could have easily started with the other colour however along the way the colours must alternate If one end is blue then the other end is red and visaversa.

Great Great idea for having a go at a puzzle and then seeing it solved.

Hi - I'm Bernie Remington and I hail from Baltimore Maryland in USA. Thanks so much for accomodating my request to give us a shot at the puzzle first in #90. Extra work for you - fun for us. I have to relook this one a time or two cause that color concept is a bit complex for me. I'll study it. Thanks again.

[@SudokuGuy]

Thanks Bernadine for your support and suggestion. As you can see I am going to give it a try and see what happens. Let's keep in touch

[@hj-redravenheng3822]

Thankyou thankyou thankyou Robin - I get close to the end of soooo many puzzles and have to guess one number of a pair and play it through to see if it works out (or not). This tutorial has really helped!

[@SudokuGuy]

That's great. however avoid as much as you can guessing....usually it doesn't work.

Howdy Robin, my name is Julia and Im a huge sudoku fan. I love picking away at my book but I have noticed myself getting bogged down and having to ignore and work around my magic pairs rather than finding a knock them out, I would just hit a wall and hope that later I'd find a different number that unlocks the pairs and it just makes so much sense now. I'm certain this will make me an excellent solver, so thank you. Love your videos and energy stay well ❤️

[@SudokuGuy]

Thanks Platinum, you have made my day. Robin

[@KanikaSuper]

This has been really helpful. I'm able to solve puzzles with logic instead of error an trial now. Thanks alot for this tutorial ❤

[@carolrgoldenoldie2]

Robin, I really enjoy your videos…I’ve learned so much. Question….how do they grade the difficulty of puzzles? I’ve had ones which they said were very difficult that turned out to be quite easy and easy ones which were almost impossible? Does it go on the number of squares already given or is there another reason?

[@SudokuGuy]

Good question! The grading varies a lot. You are right the categorization is often poor which can be frustrating. It depends the better books have a person do the puzzles first. Many apps work on a algorythmn and that depends which one or ones they use, while other publishers base it on the number of original numbers. However this does not always work. Hang in there. I have found the app "enjoy sudoku" as one of the best and any book by Will shortz. Robin

[@carolrgoldenoldie2]

[@michalpetras984]

It is an amazing elimination method. Thank you a lot for that.

[@wendyhla7097]

Your tutorials were very very helpful in solving difficult puzzles. Still, I would be grateful if you could kindly show us how to solve more difficult ones, like only 12 numbers in the chart only. Many many thanks.

[@SudokuGuy]

Noted If someone can solve with only 12 numbers they have to use algorythmns . 17 given numbers are the suggested minimum numbers for normal 9X9 solving.

[@leonlewek4143]

Greetings from Florida Robin. Another wonderful explanation of technique. I'm not clear,however, on how you determine which matching pair is a "red" and which is "blue." I understand that for each pair that sees each other, one is red and the other blue. But how do you determine which is which? Or...does it make a difference??

[@SudokuGuy]

Yes, exactly. Leon It doesn't matter what colour you choose.. thanks for your comment.

[@SmartHobbies]

Great Tutorial, Sudoku Guy. I also made a tutorial on Remote Pairs recently and I love finding these in puzzles. I like how you make red and blue colored cells and look at the intersection. Remote Pairs only work with even numbered cell chains, and your coloring method makes sure of that.

[@SudokuGuy]

Cool, thanks! Robin

[@NimeshSadadiwala]

Thanks Robin and swami Sudoku for ur wonderful tip and teaching in very simple manner, but how to find such matching pairs in puzzles. Still I m a big big fan of urs. Keep the good work going !!!

Keep watching and you will find eventually puzzles which has several matching pairs. Different publications tend to have different puzzles. some have more sets of matching pairs than others Robin

NONONO At beginning. Looking at row 2 column 8 and 9 and also and also looking at column 8 row 6. You see at column 8, row 2 is the number 289. This 289 can see number 28 (At row 2 column 9)and this 289 also can see number 28 at same column (8) and row 6 . So # 289 will be become # 9 but you said it will be # 28 . Why?????
