How to play 6x6 Sudoku

6x6 Sudoku gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Fill all cells with 1–6; do not repeat a symbol in any row, column or region. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Check the rule that explains your first action. Look at what changes after your first action.

An idea for your next attempt

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. 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. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Start with a deliberate move.

Step by step

  1. Select an empty cell. The original clues cannot be edited.
  2. Choose a symbol from the number pad, or type it on a keyboard.
  3. Turn Notes on to record candidate symbols without committing an answer.
  4. Use Check entries to check your filled values. Hint reveals one value from the verified solution.
  5. Complete the board, or choose New puzzle for another board.

Using the playing area

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. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. A new-round button replaces the current round.

Try this 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. Keep the game’s format in mind.

Keep this in mind

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. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
