I tried everything on the online editor but still get the error. But when I do this on VSCode on my machine, it works fine. I'm confused and can't submit the code without finding the bug. I don't know where to look anymore. I wish I had another pair of eyes looking at this for me. I am truely thankful.
//puzzle let puzzle = [ [8, 9, 5, 7, 4, 2, 1, 3, 6], [2, 7, 1, 9, 6, 3, 4, 8, 5], [4, 6, 3, 5, 8, 1, 7, 9, 2], [9, 3, 4, 6, 1, 7, 2, 5, 8], [5, 1, 7, 2, 3, 8, 9, 6, 4], [6, 8, 2, 4, 5, 9, 3, 7, 1], [1, 5, 9, 8, 7, 4, 6, 2, 3], [7, 4, 6, 3, 2, 5, 8, 1, 9], [3, 2, 8, 1, 9, 6, 5, 4, 7], ]; //puzzle 2 let puzzleTwo = [ [8, 9, 5, 7, 4, 2, 1, 3, 6], [8, 7, 1, 9, 6, 3, 4, 8, 5], [4, 6, 3, 5, 8, 1, 7, 9, 2], [9, 3, 4, 6, 1, 7, 2, 5, 8], [5, 1, 7, 2, 3, 8, 9, 6, 4], [6, 8, 2, 4, 5, 9, 3, 7, 1], [1, 5, 9, 8, 7, 4, 6, 2, 3], [7, 4, 6, 3, 2, 5, 8, 1, 9], [3, 2, 8, 1, 9, 6, 5, 4, 7], ]; //DO NOT EDIT ABOVE function getRow(puzzle, row) { let array = []; for (let i = 0; i < puzzle.length; i++) { if (i === row) for (let j = 0; j < puzzle[i].length; j++) array.push(puzzle[i][j]); } return array; } function getColumn(puzzle, col) { let array = []; for (let i = 0; i < puzzle.length; i++) { for (let j = 0; j < puzzle[i].length; j++) if (j === col) array.push(puzzle[i][col]); } return array; } function getSection(puzzle, x, y) { let array = []; let xIndex = 0; let yIndex = 0; if (x === 0) yIndex = 0; else if (x === 1) yIndex = 3; else yIndex = 6; if (y === 0) xIndex = 0; else if (y === 1) xIndex = 3; else xIndex = 6; for (let i = xIndex; i < xIndex + 3; i++) for (let j = yIndex; j < yIndex + 3; j++) array.push(puzzle[i][j]); return array; } function includes1To9(arr) { let prev = arr[0]; for (let i = 1; i < arr.length; i++) { if (arr[i] === prev) return false; prev = arr[i]; } return true; } function sudokuIsValid(puzzle) { for (let x = 0; x < 3; x++) for (let y = 0; y < 3; y++) if (includes1To9(getSection(puzzle, x, y)) === false) return false; for (let i = 0; i < puzzle.length; i++) { if (includes1To9(getRow(puzzle, i)) === false) return false; if (includes1To9(getColumn(puzzle, i)) === false) return false; } return true; } console.log(sudokuIsValid(puzzle)); //Returns true console.log(sudokuIsValid(puzzleTwo)); //Returns false
This is the error message I received. When the sudoku is invalid, the prompt asks me to return false. As you can see, it does return false for invalid puzzles, but not for all invalid puzzles.

Your
includes1To9()
only checks if adjacent elements are the same:
