How to use the solver

  2. Press “Give me a hint” to reveal one empty cell.
  3. Press “Show full solution” to fill in every remaining cell.

The rules in 30 seconds

  • The board is 6×6, split into six boxes of 2 rows × 3 columns.
  • Each row, each column and each box must contain the numbers 1 to 6 exactly once.

Solving tips that actually help

  • Scan each box for the missing numbers — with only six cells, candidates run out fast.
  • Look for a “hidden single”: a number that can only go in one cell of a row, column or box.
  • Use pairs: if two cells in a row can only be 2 or 5, no other cell in that row can be 2 or 5.
  • Work the rows that are almost full first — they often cascade into the boxes above and below.

Questions & answers

Does it work for 9×9 sudoku too?

The engine can solve 4×4, 6×6 and classic 9×9 grids; this page is tuned for LinkedIn's 6×6 Mini Sudoku.

Why won't it solve my grid?

It checks for duplicate numbers first. If two identical numbers share a row, column or box, fix the typo and try again.

When does the Mini Sudoku refresh?
