@mandyrulez: Replying to @effervescentangel Notes aid in the process of elimination and are extremely helpful! Any time a number has only two potential options in a box I note them down. Depending on the positions of the two options, it can eliminate an entire row or column from having that number, even though you haven’t found its final square yet. I cross them out as I go and it can definitely get a little messy but it’s how I’m able to complete harder sudoku puzzles on pen and paper! sudoku tips how to play sudoku methods #sudoku #logicpuzzle #brainstack #hobbymaxxing #quietlife

I play with a dark pen and a light pen, and I use the light pen to make little bubbles instead of dots, then ill color in the bubble if It can no longer be that number, eventually there are going to be times when notes for all number will be important

You should use the dot method! It looks so much cleaner and super easy to read

Haha see I don’t annotate with my pen, so I can make notes and keep erasing. Thanks for sharing!

Two options or no note — that's the rule that made hard grids readable for me. A clean pair of 4s beats a cell crammed with candidates every time.

I saw someone who showed their dot notation where they put a dot for each number it can't be, so you can continue to add to your notes and you pay attention to the gaps between, definitely going to be giving that a try
