Outside Sudoku Puzzles

Outside Sudoku is a variation of the traditional Sudoku puzzle, where clues or numbers are placed outside the grid rather than within it. In this variation, the numbers positioned around the borders of the 9x9 grid provide hints about the values that will appear in the first three cells (or sometimes fewer) in the corresponding row or column.

In Outside Sudoku, some digits are given outside the grid. These digits must appear in the first three cells in the corresponding direction.

The core puzzle grid remains a standard 9x9 grid, with the usual rules of Sudoku, i.e. each row, column, and 3x3 box must contain the digits 1 through 9 without repetition.

Numbers are placed outside the grid at the ends of rows and columns. These numbers give hints about which digits must appear in the first few cells of that row or column, starting from the side where the number is placed.
