6x6 Sudoku: from controls to your first round

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. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.

Something to practise

Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Use the example to check your reasoning.

What the game asks you to do

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. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

The order of play

  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.

How to interact with the game

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. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

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. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the game’s format in mind.

Pay attention to this rule

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. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
