How to play 6x6 Sudoku
Take a moment with 6x6 Sudoku before moving to another game. Fill all cells with 1–6; do not repeat a symbol in any row, column or region. Look at what changes after your first action. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Keep the aim in sight
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your goal
Fill all cells with 1–6; do not repeat a symbol in any row, column or region. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
Step by step
- 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.
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. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Look at the feedback after the action.
A useful example
Before filling a cell, compare the symbols already used in its row, column and 2 × 3 region. A candidate must be absent from all three. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Take a moment to compare.
Watch out for this
Notes are reminders, not final entries. A full board only counts as complete when it satisfies every rule. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
