How to play 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. Look at what changes after your first action. Check the rule that explains your first action. 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. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
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. Keep the controls in easy reach.
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. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
A useful example
On one puzzle in this collection, row 1, column 4 has 5 in its solution. Read the clues on your current board before using that value; another puzzle can need a different entry. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Read the matching step again.
Watch out for this
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. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
