Tips for a first Sudoku

A few small choices make the first puzzles friendlier. Start with easy puzzles, since they have more given numbers and can be solved without guessing. Keep the answer key nearby at first so one stuck square does not end the session. If the numbers feel cramped, the large-print sheets or a one-per-page layout give you more space. When easy starts to feel slow, move up to medium.
