Mini Sudoku Answer
for Today
Each digit appears once per row, column, and box.
Scan for singles
Look for rows, columns, or boxes where only one digit is missing. These "naked singles" are always the first cells to fill.
Work the boxes
Each box must also contain every digit exactly once. Cross-referencing a box against its row and column constraints often pins a digit immediately.
Note candidates
When no singles remain, pencil in candidate digits for each empty cell. Eliminate candidates using row/column/box constraints until one is forced.
About Mini Sudoku
LinkedIn's Mini Sudoku is a 6×6 grid divided into six 2×3 boxes. Each row, column, and box must contain the digits 1–6 exactly once. With fewer cells than a full 9×9 puzzle, it's faster to solve but still requires the same logical deduction.
Yes. Like all well-formed Sudoku puzzles, LinkedIn's Mini Sudoku is designed to have exactly one valid solution. You should never need to guess — if you're stuck, re-check your row, column, and box constraints for a contradiction.
The number of given (pre-filled) cells varies by day and determines the puzzle's difficulty. Fewer givens mean more deduction required. The dark cells on this page show which digits were given in today's puzzle.
