Try 6x6 Sudoku at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Fill all cells with 1–6; do not repeat a symbol in any row, column or region. Use the example below to understand a decision. Check the rule that explains your first action. Look at what changes after your first action.
Build familiarity through play
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your objective
Fill all cells with 1–6; do not repeat a symbol in any row, column or region. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Notice how the game responds to your input.
From the start of a round
- Select an empty cell. The original clues cannot be edited.
- Choose a symbol from the number pad, or type it on a keyboard.
- Turn Notes on to record candidate symbols without committing an answer.
- Use Check entries to check your filled values. Hint reveals one value from the verified solution.
- Complete the board, or choose New puzzle for another board.
How to use the controls
Tap or click a cell and use the number pad. Keyboard: arrows select cells; digits (and A–G on 16×16) enter values; Backspace erases. Use the control method described here for this activity. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
A useful example
On one puzzle in this collection, row 1, column 1 has 5 in its solution. Read the clues on your current board before using that value; another puzzle can need a different entry. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the controls nearby.
One detail worth checking
Notes are reminders, not final entries. A full board only counts as complete when it satisfies every rule. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
