Mini Sudoku — common questions

How is Mini Sudoku different from normal sudoku?

The grid is 6×6 instead of 9×9, using digits 1–6 and 2×3 boxes. All the classic solving logic applies, but games take a minute or two rather than ten.

Is there one Mini Sudoku per day on LinkedIn?

Yes — a single daily puzzle shared by all players, with streaks and time comparisons against your connections, like the rest of the LinkedIn games lineup.

Can a Mini Sudoku have two solutions?

No — official puzzles are constructed with a unique solution, which is what makes no-guess logical solving possible.
