🧠· Logic & Reasoning
Sudoku is not a math game — it is a pure logic exercise. This section explores the formal reasoning frameworks behind every solving technique: deductive reasoning, inductive reasoning, hypothetical reasoning, and metacognition. Each tutorial in the series above is rooted in a specific logical principle — this is where we make those connections explicit.
