Play 6x6 Sudoku with the rules at hand
Start 6x6 Sudoku by looking at the playing area and its controls. 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. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Bring this focus to a round
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Keep the objective visible.
Aim for this result
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. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
The playing sequence
- 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. Use the control method described here for this activity. A new-round button replaces the current round.
Work through an example
On one puzzle in this collection, row 1, column 2 has 4 in its solution. Read the clues on your current board before using that value; another puzzle can need a different entry. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Check the stated objective.
A common point of confusion
Notes are reminders, not final entries. A full board only counts as complete when it satisfies every rule. Compare the situation with the worked example. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
