Myth 5: Sudoku is a game of luck so guessing is necessary

It is not necessary -- and not wise -- to guess when solving puzzles. Guessing can be disastrous because wrong numbers can easily lead to more wrong numbers. Once a wrong number is placed, it can be difficult to determine which numbers are correct and which ones are not, to undo mistakes.

Hence guessing is not at all recommended! To avoid confusion it should never be done. Puzzles can and should only be solved by placing correct numbers as they are found.

There is always enough information in a puzzle with the givens (numbers placed at the beginning) to find all of the numbers using logic, deduction or other solving techniques. This is in fact what makes sudoku exciting and gives players a sense of accomplishment.
