About Mini Sudoku #406
- Mini Sudoku #406 gives 14 of 36 numbers, leaving 22 squares to fill.
- The most filled-in row is row 1, with 3 given numbers.
- It has 14 given numbers, more than the average of 11.7 across the previous 7 puzzles.
- This opening places 3 numbers using only singles, with no guessing.
- In the top-left box, the digit 5 can only go in R2C3, because the 5 already placed in row 1 rules out every other empty square there.
- The top-left box has just one empty square left, R1C3, and the other squares already hold 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, so the missing 6 goes there.
- In the top-right box, the digit 1 can only go in R2C6, because the 1s already placed in row 1 and column 4 rule out every other empty square there.
