Abstract(in English) ``Number Place'', also known as Sudoku, is a type of pencil puzzles in which the numbers 1 to 9 are to be filled on 9 x 9 cells. There are various solutions to infer a number to be filled into a cell. We call explicitly stated solutions ``inference rules'' in this paper. We guess that the barrier to learning inference rules for beginners of Number Place puzzles are (1) not knowing which inference rules can be applied to a board, and (2) difficulty in focusing on specific inference rules for practice. In this study, we are developing a learning support system of inference rules, which has functions to eliminate or reduce these learning barriers. We describe the learning barriers that we are trying to reduce and, the functions and the implementation of the system in this paper.
