How to play 4x4 Sudoku

Make 4x4 Sudoku your next activity in the game library. Fill all cells with 1–4; do not repeat a symbol in any row, column or region. Look at what changes after your first action. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Use the example below to understand a decision.

An idea for your next attempt

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Notice the feedback after each input.

Your objective

Fill all cells with 1–4; do not repeat a symbol in any row, column or region. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Start with a deliberate move.

Work through the instructions

  1. Select an empty cell. The original clues cannot be edited.
  2. Choose a symbol from the number pad, or type it on a keyboard.
  3. Turn Notes on to record candidate symbols without committing an answer.
  4. Use Check entries to check your filled values. Hint reveals one value from the verified solution.
  5. Complete the board, or choose New puzzle for another board.

How to interact with the game

Tap or click a cell and use the number pad. Keyboard: arrows select cells; digits (and A–G on 16×16) enter values; Backspace erases. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Check any mode label before starting.

A useful example

On one puzzle in this collection, row 1, column 3 has 4 in its solution. Read the clues on your current board before using that value; another puzzle can need a different entry. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Check the stated objective.

Where a round can go wrong

Notes are reminders, not final entries. A full board only counts as complete when it satisfies every rule. Compare the situation with the worked example. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
