What to train

Sudoku rewards constraint tracking, not guessing.

Specific practice transfers most strongly to similar tasks; broad-transfer claims need caution.

Exercises

Increase difficulty only when accuracy is stable.

  • Scan singles.
  • Mark candidates.
  • Find hidden singles.
  • Look for pairs.

Sustainable routine

Use brief regular sessions, adequate sleep, movement, and recovery.

Track accuracy and difficulty rather than expecting a guaranteed IQ increase.
