Is There More Than One Possible Way To Solve Sudoku Puzzles?

I have heard some people saying that there is but I don't think so.

A properly constructed sudoku puzzle will only have one possible solution.

"If it does not have a single solution, it is an invalid puzzle."

"There are also some puzzles which have multiple solutions and are generally considered invalid or broken." http://www.angusj.com/sudoku/hints.php

What is the strategy for solving Sudoku puzzles?

  1. No, there is only one way, doing it any other way would make it come out wrong.

  2. There should be only one solution. But, I have gotten some of these cheap Soduko books and some of them, when you get almost done, you can put some of the numbers in either way.

  3. I don’t quiet understand your question. The point of a Sudoku puzzle is to have 1-9 in each row, column, and square without repeating the same number in that row, column, or square.

  5. No. Sudoku is one of the most challenging puzzle games BECAUSE it only has one possible solution. I mean, You get all the way done with the puzzle except for the last square. Then, when you try to put the # in it doesn’t work because you’ve made 1 mistake and have to restart all over again. It STINKS when that happens!
