Sudoku is a logic-based, combinatorial number-placement puzzle. The objective is to fill a $9\times9$ grid with digits so that each column, each row, and each of the nine $3\times3$ subgrids that compose the grid (also called "boxes", "blocks", "regions" or "subsquares") contain all the digits from $1$ to $9$. The puzzle setter provides a partially completed grid, which for a well-posed puzzle has a unique solution.
