Reddit help pipeline · site-only V1
Sudoku help pages prepared for Reddit replies
Each page turns one stuck-puzzle moment into a visual explanation: current board, candidate notes, the next logical step, and a short Reddit reply draft that links back here for details.

The monitor can prepare candidates, but it should not post to Reddit yet. Human review confirms board recognition, next-step quality, subreddit fit, and disclosure before any reply is published.

Next logical step: Naked Pair removes 8 and 9
Source: What technique should I use next?
Remove 8 and 9 from r4c7. When a puzzle feels stuck, scan each box for two cells with the exact same two candidates. That pair reserves both digits and often creates the next elimination.

Next logical step: Hidden Single places 2 in row 2
Source: I am stuck — what is the next logical move?
Place 2 in r2c8. When no cell has a single candidate, pick one row, column, or box and ask where each digit can still go. A digit with exactly one possible position is a hidden single.

Next logical step: Locked Candidates removes 4 from column 9
Source: Why can I remove this candidate?
Remove 4 from r3c9. For locked candidates, scan a box for a digit whose candidates all line up in one row or column. Then remove that digit from the same line outside the box.
