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:

function includes1To9(arr) {
  let prev = arr[0];
  for (let i = 1; i
