Start by looking at the diagonals and identifying cells that are already heavily restricted by rows, columns or boxes.
The centre cell belongs to both diagonals, making it one of the most influential positions in the puzzle.
The extra rule adds more restrictions, but it also creates more opportunities for deduction. Some players find it easier, while others find it more demanding.
Variants such as Thermo Sudoku, Arrow Sudoku or Skyscraper Sudoku introduce different types of restrictions while keeping the familiar Sudoku grid.
The most common mistake is forgetting that a placement must satisfy the diagonals as well as the normal Sudoku rules.
