Understand the basics of 6x6 Sudoku

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. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Check the rule that explains your first action. Look at what changes after your first action.

Something to practise

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Refer to the controls when needed.

What you need to achieve

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. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

Making your moves

  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.

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. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Use one clear input at a time.

A closer look at one example

On one puzzle in this collection, row 1, column 2 has 4 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. Choose a deliberate next step.

A common point of confusion

Notes are reminders, not final entries. A full board only counts as complete when it satisfies every rule. Check the rule before repeating the action. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
