Instructions for Playing Christmas Sudoku
- Start with your Picture Christmas Sudoku puzzle template. You’ll see that some of the pictures are already filled in. These are your clues to help you get started.
- Your goal is to fill in the empty spaces with the right Christmas pictures so that each row, each column, and each of the squares contains one Christmas picture without repeating.
- If you ever find that you can’t place a picture without breaking the rules (like having two of the same pictures in the same row), use your eraser to remove the wrong picture and try again.
- Continue filling in the grid with Christmas pictures until you’ve placed all of them, following the rules of not repeating in rows, columns, or smaller squares.
- When you’ve successfully placed all the Christmas pictures and the grid is completely filled, you’ve solved the picture Christmas sudoku puzzle!
