6x6 Sudoku: from controls to your first round
Make 6x6 Sudoku your next activity in the game library. 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. Use the example below to understand a decision.
Practice beyond the first move
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Refer to the controls when needed.
The objective of a round
Fill all cells with 1–6; do not repeat a symbol in any row, column or region. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
From the start of a round
- 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.
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. Use the control method described here for this activity. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
Put the rules into context
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. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Take a moment to compare.
Check this before moving on
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. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
