Mini Number Place

Place 1–6 once in every row, column and 2×3 box.

Select a cell, then choose a number.

Quick start: choose an empty cell. Cross out numbers already in its row, column and box. If one candidate remains, it must go there. Open a hint to see a worked step.

Controls and saving

Tap a cell to select it. Use arrow keys to move, number keys to enter, M for notes and Delete to erase. Notes let you record your own candidates.

Progress is saved on this device when storage is available.
