Sudoku Kids
Tap a square, then tap a digit (or press 1–6; Backspace clears). Every row, every column and every 2×3 box must contain 1 to 6 exactly once. Digits that clash turn red. Solve it for points that shrink with time; the next puzzle has fewer clues.

Sudoku Kids — a free online arcade game on TotType
Sudoku Kids is real sudoku at a child's size: a 6×6 grid split into 2×3 boxes, so every row, column and box needs the digits 1 to 6 exactly once. Tap a square and a digit, or type. Any digit that clashes with another in its row, column or box turns red immediately — the rule is taught by the board rather than by a lecture — and given clues are white while your own entries are blue. Puzzles are generated with a single solution; the first has 22 clues and each one you solve removes two more. Solving pays points that shrink with the seconds, so the total rewards both logic and pace. It's free in any browser with no download — the arcade just needs a free parent account with a verified email.

How to play Sudoku Kids
Tap a square, then tap a digit (or press 1–6; Backspace clears). Every row, every column and every 2×3 box must contain 1 to 6 exactly once. Digits that clash turn red. Solve it for points that shrink with time; the next puzzle has fewer clues.
Tips & tricks
- Start with the row, column or box that already has the most digits — the missing ones are nearly forced.
- Tap a filled square to highlight every copy of that digit; the row and box it is missing from show up at a glance.
- Red means a clash right now, not a wrong guess forever — change one of the two and it clears.
Frequently asked questions
How do you play Sudoku Kids?
Fill the 6×6 grid so every row, column and 2×3 box contains 1 to 6 once each. Tap a square, then a digit from the pad — or use the keyboard: 1–6 to enter, Backspace to clear, arrows to move.
Is 6×6 sudoku easier than 9×9?
Much. With six digits the logic is the same but every step is shorter, which is why it is the size taught in schools. The puzzles here get harder as clues are removed, so an older child still gets a challenge.
How is it scored?
Each solved puzzle is worth up to 600 points minus 2 per second, plus 50 per level, and the total keeps climbing across puzzles. Every solve posts your total to the arcade leaderboard.
