About Mini Sudoku
Mini Sudoku is a 4 by 4 grid split into four small boxes, with a few squares left empty. Your child fills each gap with a fruit or a number so that nothing repeats in a row, a column or a box. A symbol that does not fit is simply not placed, so kids look again and try another.
How to play
- Find a row, column or box with only one empty square.
- Drag a symbol into an empty square, or tap the square and then the symbol.
- With a keyboard, move with the arrow keys and press 1 to 4.
What your child practices
- Step-by-step logic
- Spotting what is missing
- Rows, columns and boxes
- Focus and patience
