Blank Sudoku Grid to Print (PDF)

Updated 15 October 2026

A blank sudoku grid is a 9×9 square split into nine 3×3 boxes with no digits in it. This free PDF gives you a full-page grid for copying out a puzzle and a second page of four smaller grids for quick practice. It needs nothing but a printer.

What is in the PDF

The first page is a cover. The next page holds one large grid that fills the sheet, which suits copying a puzzle out of a book, a newspaper or a screenshot and solving it with a pencil. The last page holds four smaller grids, so a single sheet covers a handful of quick puzzles or lets you try the same position several ways.

What a blank grid is good for

• Transcribing a puzzle you found somewhere without a printer-friendly version.
• Teachers building their own worksheets, or students drawing a puzzle for a friend to solve.
• Practising pencil marks: write every candidate on paper, then compare with the step-by-step sudoku solver to see which technique fires.
• Working through the habits on the sudoku tips page on paper before trying them on a screen.

Printing tips

Print at 100% scale rather than “fit to page”, and single-sided if you plan to write on both. The lines are vector graphics, so the grid stays sharp at any size. If you would rather have puzzles already filled in, the printable sudoku hub has a booklet for every difficulty, and the large-print booklet uses bigger grids for easier reading.
