How to play Sudoku mini

Fill the 6 by 6 grid so every row, every column, and every two by three box has the digits 1 through 6. Tap a cell, then tap a number to drop it in. Already filled cells are locked. Use the eraser to clear a wrong number. The puzzle is finished the moment every cell holds a valid digit. There is no clock, just a moves counter.

Tips

• Scan rows and columns for numbers that can only fit one spot
• Keep pencil notes for cells with two possible options
• When stuck, look at the boxes, not just the rows
• If you make a wrong move, undo right away, sudoku errors snowball fast

About Sudoku mini

Sudoku is a Japanese export, but the format is older than that. Number place puzzles ran in American magazines in the 1970s before a Japanese publisher rebranded them in the 1980s. The 6 by 6 mini version is the friendly little cousin. Same logic, smaller grid, no need to clear an hour of your day. Perfect for teaching kids the basics or for adults who want a quick brain warm up before a meeting.
