Share. oldenumber77. • 4 yr. ago • Edited 4 yr. ago. NYT Medium are almost always considerably easier than the NYT Hard’s (in my observation). I sometimes do NYT Medium without any notes at all. If a particular NYT Medium seems harder than usual, you probably over-looked a pretty obvious single (naked or hidden) or pair/triple. [Edit ...
Ny times hard puzzles are usually just moderately difficult, and I don't think I have found one that need anything more complex than triples. I plugged today's Hard NYT puzzle into my solver. The analyzer found 4 naked pairs, 3 pointing lines and 3 group claims before the puzzle degenerated into singles.
But, I'm trying to find out what are 'goodish' times. For me, easy always under 4 mins, usually around 3:20-3:30, very occasionally 3:00. medium always under 35 mins, usually around 18 mins, occasionally under 15 mins. hard always under 45 mins, usually around 30 mins, occasionally under 20 mins (today for example was 18:39) which is why I ...
If it is a 1 then a 5 link chain (might be less, I haven't looked carefully) makes R7C4 a 6. If it's a 9 then a 3 link chain makes R2C1 a 6. If you like the NYT puzzles, but are puzzled by their hints, you can use a bookmarklet to open a puzzle from their site on SudokuExchange instead and get different hints.
I've been playing Sudoku now for close to a year. Not sure about the easy and medium, but I've been tracking on hard anywhere between 13 minutes to 30 minutes depending on difficulty. I see videos of pros taking around 30 minutes to solve hard. Sometimes the NYT hard puzzles are quite the challenge. Sometimes they are quite easy.
Does anyone have an archive of old NYT sudokus? I am looking for the easy medium and hard puzzles from March 11, 2020.
My best time for an expert puzzle is 8.9 minutes. My usual time is about 12-15 minutes. 2. anniversaryx. • 3 yr. ago. Easy-medium puzzles i can finish in almost 2-3 minutes. I can do a hard puzzle in 4-7 minutes usually, and it’ll take 23-30 minutes for a expert one. I did sudoku alot when I was younger. 1.
So in the beginning it seems to be pretty simple, naked pairs etc. So start with the 57 row 7. then the naked pair of 14 in column 9. Solo pair of 7 in row 2. Pair of 6 column 9. Pair 57 column 7 (solving column 7 row 3 is 1 and row 4 is 6) Only option for 7 is row 3 column 2. Triple 423 in row 4 (so you can cancel out all other 423 so all in ...
The NYT hints are oftentimes very bad. The three blue cells form a triple, i.e. the three candidates 1, 3 and 9 are locked in place in these three cells. All other cells within the same 3x3 box cannot be 1, 3 or 9 for that reason. We can therefore eliminate the red candidates. 3. 23K subscribers in the sudoku community.
I’ve gotten really into the nyt games app and started doing their sudoku puzzles. For most of their games (wordle, connections, spelling bee through the app, Minis, crossword) you can either find the old ones online or the paid ones through the app. Afaik the sudoku is free, and it shouldn’t be hard for a 3rd party to copy and host sudokus.
