Finding the one forced cell left

You are stuck on a sudoku and you do not want the full solution, just the next cell so you can keep going on your own. That is what happens here: you paste the board as a single 81-character line, read left to right and top to bottom, using a dot or a zero for empty cells. What comes back is one move, given as a row, a column and the digit that belongs there.

Under the hood this is the simplest sudoku technique, the naked single: for every empty cell the tool collects the digits already present in its row, its column and its 3x3 box, and if exactly one digit from 1 to 9 survives, that is the move. It scans in reading order and stops at the first cell it finds, so the suggestion is not the easiest or the best one, just the first. Hidden singles are not covered.

The workflow is iterative: play the suggested move, update your 81-character line and paste it again for the next one. If the answer says there is no single candidate, either the puzzle needs a more advanced technique or you mistyped the board. Double-check the grid first, because nothing is validated here: two 5s in the same row raise no warning and a move may still be suggested. The whole thing runs in your browser.

Frequently asked questions

How do I write the board?
One line of 81 characters in reading order, with a dot or a zero for empty cells. Spaces and line breaks are stripped before the length is checked.
Does it solve the whole puzzle?
No. Each run returns a single move; update the board and run it again to keep going.
Why does it say there is no single candidate?
Because it only looks for naked singles. Hidden singles, pairs and other techniques are not implemented, so a solvable puzzle can still return that message.
