Why bother solving a solved problem? Sudoku-lust?

Ask it to solve sudoku and report back. Not generate code but actually solve a puzzle in the prompt.

Thank you! I'm starting to work on a sudoku solver. Let's see how far I can get.

You misunderstood what I meant. Prompt the LLM with the sudoku puzzle and ask it to solve it and not write python. Human can do it, LLM can not.
