6x6 Sudoku: learn through an example

Bring your attention to one round of 6x6 Sudoku. 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.

One thing to notice as you play

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

What you need to achieve

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. Check the rules when you are unsure.

From the start of a round

  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.

Getting comfortable with the 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. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.

Put the rules into context

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. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Consider the next action carefully.

Keep this in mind

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. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
