Question 1

What makes Mini Sudoku different from classic Sudoku?

Accepted Answer

Same rules, smaller grid. Mini Sudoku uses 6×6, 8×8, or 10×10 boards instead of the classic 9×9. The logic patterns are the same — you just finish faster, which is part of the appeal.

Question 2

Is Sudoku good for your brain?

Accepted Answer

Probably. Sudoku is a focus and pattern-recognition exercise, and there's research suggesting puzzle games help maintain those skills. We won't promise it changes your life — it's mostly just a fun thing to do for a few minutes.

Question 3

How often should I play?

Accepted Answer

Whatever feels right. A short daily puzzle is enough to keep getting better at the patterns. The streak counter helps if you like that kind of nudge.

Question 4

Is Mini Sudoku good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The 6×6 grid is much friendlier than 9×9 — fewer cells, fewer candidates to track. It's a good way to learn the basics before stepping up.

Question 5

Can I play on my phone or tablet?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The whole site is built for phone first. Big tap targets, no fiddly controls.

Question 6

Do you offer hints?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Hints, pencil marks, and conflict highlighting are all optional toggles. Use them when you want help, leave them off when you don't.

Question 7

Will you add larger Sudoku boards?

Accepted Answer

8×8 and 10×10 are already live, with 300 puzzles each. Pick a size from the puzzle library to start.

Question 8

Is Mini Sudoku free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. No account, no email, no ads on the gameplay. Open the page and play.
