Easy sudoku puzzles you can solve with the two simplest techniques.

Portrait game
Easy sudoku is the best place to start. Each puzzle gives you 36 to 42 digits and can be solved with the two simplest techniques: a cell where only one digit fits, and a digit that has only one place left in its row, column or box. You will not need notes to finish, but they are there if you want them.
Pick a digit, say 1, and look at each 3×3 box in turn. If only one cell in a box can still take a 1, place it there. Then do the same for 2, 3 and so on. After every placement, check the row, column and box of the new digit — the next move is often right next to it.
If you get stuck, Hint explains the next step and highlights the cell. You have three free hints per puzzle, undo is unlimited, and a wrong digit never ends the game.
Once easy puzzles feel quick, move on to Medium, which adds one more technique, or open the daily sudoku. The strategy guide explains each technique in the order the puzzles need them.
Easy sudoku games are also a good warm-up before a harder puzzle: play sudoku easy online for a few minutes, then switch levels in the menu.
