About this sudoku solver

Enter the given numbers and press Solve. The solver uses backtracking that always fills the most constrained cell first, which cracks even puzzles built to defeat human techniques in a fraction of a second. It also checks the clues: two equal numbers in a row, column or box are highlighted, and it tells you if the puzzle has more than one solution.
