How to play MiniHue

Six colours on a 6×6 board, with 2×3 boxes instead of 3×3. Short enough to finish while the kettle boils.

The rules

  1. Fill the grid. Fill every cell with one of six colours.
  2. Rows and columns. Each row and each column contains all six colours exactly once.
  3. Boxes too. Each 2×3 box contains all six colours exactly once.
  4. Pencil marks. Toggle pencil mode to note candidate colours; tapping the same colour again clears the cell.
The board splits into 2×3 boxes: two rows tall, three columns wide.

Where to start

The 2×3 box shape is what makes MiniHue different from a shrunken 9×9. Boxes are wider than they are tall, so a colour placed in a row rules out more of the box than you expect.

Work box by box rather than row by row. With only six colours, a box that already holds four of them usually resolves the other two immediately.
