A practical guide to 6x6 Sudoku
Choose a round of 6x6 Sudoku and settle into its rules. 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. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Practice with a purpose
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Use the example to check your reasoning.
What you are aiming for
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. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
Making your moves
- 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. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Check any mode label before starting.
An example to follow
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. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Choose a deliberate next step.
Avoid this misunderstanding
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. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
