Not sure how to do this Sudoku

The image depicts a Sudoku puzzle with a slightly irregular grid, designed to be a moderate challenge, as suggested by the two and a half stars in the top left corner.

### Description of the Sudoku Puzzle:

- **Grid Layout**: The puzzle consists of a 9x9 grid, divided into nine 3x3 subgrids. The grid features a slight wave distortion in its vertical lines, giving it an aesthetic appeal.

- **Pre-filled Numbers**: The following numbers are provided as clues in the puzzle:
  - Row 1: Empty
  - Row 2: 3 in 1st column, 4 in 4th column, 2 in 5th column, 5 in 9th column
  - Row 3: 9 in 1st column, 3 in 5th column
  - Row 4: 1 in 1st column, 2 in 3rd column
  - Row 5: 2 in 1st column, 8 in 3rd column, 7 in 4th column, 5 in 6th column, 6 in 7th column
  - Row 6: 9 in 5th column, 7 in 8th column
  - Row 7: 3 in 3rd column, 8 in 9th column
  - Row 8: 2 in 1st column, 4 in 3rd column
  - Row 9: 9 in 1st column, 5 in 2nd column, 6 in 9th column

### Instructions for Solving:

- **Objective**: Fill in the empty cells so that each row, each column, and each 3x3 subgrid contains the numbers 1 through 9, without repeating any numbers.

- **Strategy Tips**: 
  - Use logic and process of elimination to determine the placement of numbers.
  - Focus on rows, columns, or subgrids with the most filled cells to make initial placements easier.
  - Remember that each number can only appear once in each specified area (row, column, subgrid).

This puzzle is ideal for enhancing logical thinking and concentration skills. Enjoy the challenge!
