6x6 Sudoku: rules and examples
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. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Check the rule that explains your first action. Look at what changes after your first action.
One thing to notice as you play
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Refer to the controls when needed.
The goal to keep in mind
Fill all cells with 1–6; do not repeat a symbol in any row, column or region. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
Work through the instructions
- 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.
Choosing and moving on screen
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. Read a button’s label before selecting it. A new-round button replaces the current round.
An example before you play
On one puzzle in this collection, row 1, column 1 has 1 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 game’s format in mind.
Notice this detail
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. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
