Game Rules

1

Fill the 6x6 grid so each row contains digits 1-6 without repeats

2

Each column must also include the numbers 1-6 exactly once

3

Every 3x2 region (outlined box) must contain all digits 1-6

4

Tap a cell then choose a number from the number pad

5

6

Pro Tips

Scan for “singles” first—cells or regions where only one number is missing.

Use pencil marks to track possible digits, then eliminate them as conflicts appear.

Compare pairs of rows or columns to spot duplicates and hidden candidates.

When stuck, switch focus to a different region or take a hint to stay in flow.

Practice daily to master advanced moves like pointing pairs and X-Wing.
