Learn your way around 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. Use the example below to understand a decision. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.

A small practice goal

Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Make the next step deliberately.

Aim for this result

Fill all cells with 1–6; do not repeat a symbol in any row, column or region. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

Start here and follow along

  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.

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. Use the control method described here for this activity. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

Follow the example

On one puzzle in this collection, row 1, column 1 has 6 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. Verify the rule before continuing.

Avoid this misunderstanding

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. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
