How the Mini Sudoku Solver Works
Our Mini Sudoku solver gives you today's answer and hints for the daily LinkedIn Mini Sudoku puzzle. Click any empty cell to reveal its correct number. If you'd rather not choose, Next Cell reveals the next unsolved cell in reading order (left to right, top to bottom). Reveal All shows the complete solution, and Clear All hides every revealed answer while keeping the given numbers in place.
The cell-by-cell approach is the most useful. Confirming one stubborn cell often breaks open a row, column, or box that was holding you up, and the rest follows from standard Sudoku logic. That's the advantage over sites that just show the full grid: you keep as much of the puzzle as you want.
Use the puzzle picker to pull up any previous day and view its solution. The archive includes every past Mini Sudoku puzzle.
What Is LinkedIn Mini Sudoku?
Mini Sudoku is a daily puzzle on LinkedIn, created in collaboration with Nikoli (the original publishers of Sudoku) and Thomas Snyder, a three-time World Sudoku Champion. It uses a compact 6x6 grid divided into six 2x3 rectangular boxes, which makes it quicker than a standard 9x9 Sudoku but still requires genuine deduction.
The rules are identical to regular Sudoku, just scaled down. Place the numbers 1 through 6 so that each row, column, and 2x3 box contains every digit exactly once. Every puzzle has a unique solution reachable through logic alone, no guessing required.
A new puzzle drops every day at midnight Pacific Time. Mini Sudoku is one of seven daily games LinkedIn currently offers. If you play the others, we have solver tools for Crossclimb, Queens, Tango, Pinpoint, Zip, and Patches.
Tips for Solving Mini Sudoku
Start by scanning each row, column, and box for digits that appear five times. If five of the six numbers are already placed, the remaining cell is forced. This sounds obvious, but on a 6x6 grid it happens more often than you'd expect.
Next, look for cells where only one number fits. Check the row, column, and box that intersect at a given cell. If five of the six digits are already accounted for across those three groups, the answer is the missing one. This technique, called naked singles, solves most of the grid on easier days.
When that stalls, try hidden singles. If a number can only go in one cell within a row, column, or box, it must go there, even if other numbers could also fit that cell. The smaller grid means hidden singles appear frequently.
If you're stuck, use the solver to reveal a single cell rather than the full grid. One confirmed number is usually enough to restart the deduction chain.
