The essentials of playing 6x6 Sudoku

Read the aim of 6x6 Sudoku, then make your first move. 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.

A focus for your next round

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Keep the objective visible.

The purpose of your moves

Fill all cells with 1–6; do not repeat a symbol in any row, column or region. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. The example below illustrates a decision.

The order of play

  1. Select an empty cell. The original clues cannot be edited.
  2. Choose a symbol from the number pad, or type it on a keyboard.
  3. Turn Notes on to record candidate symbols without committing an answer.
  4. Use Check entries to check your filled values. Hint reveals one value from the verified solution.
  5. 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. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

Put the rules into context

On one puzzle in this collection, row 1, column 1 has 3 in its solution. Read the clues on your current board before using that value; another puzzle can need a different entry. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Check the stated objective.

Where a round can go wrong

Notes are reminders, not final entries. A full board only counts as complete when it satisfies every rule. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
