9×9 Sudoku Puzzles
These free printable 9×9 sudoku puzzles come in four levels for all ages and experience levels: easy, medium, hard, and challenging.
What are 9×9 Sudoku Puzzles?
The goal of a 9×9 sudoku puzzle is to complete the 9×9 grid so that each row, each column, and each outlined 3×3 square contains exactly one of each number between 1 and 9. Numbers cannot be repeated in any row, column, or 3×3 outlined square.
I typically recommend using the easy level of 9×9 sudoku puzzles with children aged 10 and above. For children under 10, I recommend checking out either 4×4 sudoku puzzles or 6×6 sudoku puzzles.
Adults will enjoy the more difficult levels of the 9×9 sudoku puzzles.

Puzzle Solutions
I intentionally do not make answers to the printable puzzles and math activities I share on my blog available online because I strive to provide learning experiences for my students that are non-google-able. I would like other teachers to be able to use these puzzles in their classrooms as well without the solutions being easily found on the Internet.
However, I do recognize that us teachers are busy people and sometimes need to quickly reference an answer key to see if a student has solved a puzzle correctly or to see if they have interpreted the instructions properly.
If you are a teacher who is using these puzzles in your classroom, please send me an email at sarah@mathequalslove.net with information about what you teach and where you teach. I will be happy to forward an answer key to you.
Not a teacher? Go ahead and send me an email as well. Just let me know what you are using the puzzles for. I am continually in awe of how many people are using these puzzles with scouting groups, with senior adults battling dementia, as fun activities in their workplace, or as a birthday party escape room.
