A fast four-by-four logic grid with nowhere to hide.

How to play Mini Sudoku

Mini Sudoku shrinks the classic logic puzzle down to a four-by-four grid that most players can finish in a couple of minutes. You fill in the missing numbers so that 1 through 4 each appear exactly once in every row, column and two-by-two box.

  1. Look at the given numbers already filled into the grid.
  2. Tap an empty cell to cycle it through the numbers 1 to 4.
  3. Make sure each row, column and two-by-two box ends up with 1 through 4 exactly once.
  4. Submit the completed grid to see your score.

Scoring

Your score reflects the share of cells that match the correct solution, scaled to a total out of 100. A fully correct grid earns the full score for the day.

Tips

  • Scan each two-by-two box first โ€” with only four numbers, missing values are easy to spot.
  • Work the row or column with the most given numbers before the emptier ones.
  • If a cell has only one possible number left, fill it immediately before moving on.
  • Double-check boxes last, since row and column fixes can accidentally repeat a number there.
