Returns factual information only: whether the puzzle is complete, whether all filled cells are correct, which cells are incorrect (with the entered digit), and how many cells remain empty. Does not give hints or coaching — use explain_next_step for that. Use this when the user asks "am I done?" or "did I make any mistakes?" Every response includes a solve_url where the same puzzle can be continued in the interactive solver.

TWO-BOARD MODE (puzzle + progress) — use when you know both the original clue grid and the user's current work: puzzle: the original 81-char clue string (the given digits only, 0/. for empty cells). progress: the user's current 81-char board — must keep all original clue digits in place. This mode detects incorrect entries: if any user-filled cell contradicts the solution, the tool returns incorrect_cells instead of a step hint, so the user can correct errors before continuing. Use this when the user is solving a puzzle they received from get_sudoku_puzzle (puzzle is known). SINGLE-BOARD MODE (puzzle only, no progress) — use when the original clue grid is unknown (e.g. photo OCR): Pass the user's current full board as puzzle with no progress argument. The tool treats the board as both the clue grid and the current state, so it will not perform error checking (it cannot distinguish given digits from user entries). It simply returns the next logical step. Use this when you cannot separate the original clues from the user's entries. Returns: { technique, explanation, action, tutorial_links } on success, or { incorrect_cells, message } if errors found. Use this for step-by-step coaching — one hint at a time. Every response includes a solve_url for continuing the same board interactively and, on success, tutorial_links for the named technique.

The response includes the techniques required to solve the puzzle and a solve_url to the interactive solver. Difficulties: easy (30–38 givens), medium (44–50), hard (50–55), expert (56–62), evil (56–62). Optional: pass a technique name (e.g. "X-Wing", "Hidden Pair") to get a puzzle that specifically requires that technique — useful when the user wants to practice a particular solving method. If no puzzle at the requested difficulty uses that technique, the error message lists which difficulties do have it. Use solve_sudoku for a full step-by-step solution, or explain_next_step to get one hint at a time. Every response includes a solve_url where the same puzzle can be continued in the interactive solver.
