Subsets

Complex problems can often be solved by finding ways to split them into several smaller problems. In a Sudoku, each house is a problem that has 362880 possible solutions (the possible permutations for the 9 digits). To reduce this number, a player will try to isolate groups of cells and digits from the remainder of the house.

When N cells and N digits are isolated, a subset of size N is formed.

Alternative terms are disjoint subset, locked set and number chain.
