Daily Sudoku #15 in brief
- Rated easy: 36 of the 81 cells come pre-filled.
- The grid as it starts, row by row: ......8.. / ...73.6.9 / 9..586.1. / ..2..5..1 / ..3.7.9.5 / .61.93.72 / 6..3.82.. / ..56..1.8 / .87.215...
- The givens are not spread evenly — the busiest 3x3 box starts with 5, the barest with 1, and that thin box is where the grid will fight you.
- The digit 4 is the scarcest among the givens.
