Sudoku Solver in Power Automate Desktop
In this Power Automate Desktop (PAD) video, I show every step I took to make a Sudoku Solver in PAD. On easy Sudoku puzzles on LiveSudoku.com, it takes between 20 to 60 seconds most of the time but sometimes 2 or 3 minutes just depending on how unlucky we are, and it took 5 minutes on Medium difficulty when I tested it. I used the backtracking algorithm in my logic, so there are probably ways to make it more efficient, but I’m happy with the results.
