## How to play

### Goal

Fill the entire 6×6 grid with numbers 1–6. Every row, column, and 2×3 box must contain all digits from 1 to 6 exactly once.

### Rules

• Each row must contain numbers 1–6 (no repeats)
• Each column must contain numbers 1–6 (no repeats)
• Each 2×3 box must contain numbers 1–6 (no repeats)
• Some numbers are pre-filled as clues
• 3 mistakes and the game is lost

### How to Play

• Tap a cell to select it, then use the number pad or type 1-6
• Long-press a number to hold it, then tap cells to fill them one after another
• Tap the notes key to pencil in candidates instead of answers
• Placing a number clears it from the pencil marks it rules out
• Long-press a cell, or use the erase key, to rub it out
• Undo steps back a move — but a spent mistake stays spent
• Keyboard: arrows move the cursor, 1-6 write, Backspace erases, Z undoes, N toggles notes

### Tips

• Start with rows, columns, or boxes that already have the most numbers
• Look for cells where only one number can legally fit
• Use elimination — if a number is already in a row or column, it can't appear again
• Pencil in candidates when a cell has two or three options and the rest of the box will decide it
• With only 6 numbers, patterns are easier to spot than in 9×9 Sudoku
