Although each sudoku on this Sudoku 3D is linked to the upper one, once you know the relationships (see below) you can solve each one independently as follows:
Fill the 9×9 grid so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3×3 regions contains the digits from 1 to 9, only one time each. Solution is unique.

Relationships between sudokus:
First, you have to solve the top sudoku (1). The remaining sudokus (2–9) have at least one blank 3×3 region, which corresponds to one of the nine 3×3 regions of the top sudoku (A–I). |
Once you have solved the sudoku 1, you have to place eight of its nine 3×3 regions (A–I) in the eight remaining sudokus (2–9). None of these regions can be used twice, so there will be just one region of sudoku 1 left unused. There is only one region in each of the remaining sudokus (2–9) where the chosen regions of sudoku 1 can be placed, which are blank for that reason. In case you find more than one blank region, only one fits the chosen region of sudoku 1. |
The difficulty of the sudokus increases from top to bottom. The difficulty levels are approximately as follows:
- Sudoku 1: Easy.
- Sudokus 2, 3, 4 and 5: Medium Level .
- Sudokus 6, 7, 8 and 9: Difficult.
With these instructions and a little patience you will enjoy yourself for a long time with your printed Sudoku 3D.
