6x6 Sudoku: instructions and practice

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. Look at what changes after your first action. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

Practice beyond the first move

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Keep the objective visible.

What counts as success

Fill all cells with 1–6; do not repeat a symbol in any row, column or region. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Start with a deliberate move.

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.

The controls to know

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.

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. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Notice the change in the playing area.

Watch out for this

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.
