A 16-given start for Mini Sudoku #427. Row 2 already has 4 of its six digits, so it closes early. You get four 4s, three 1s, three 2s, two 3s, two 5s and two 6s. Your first certain move is at row 1, column 3.
Hints
Hint 1: where to start
Row 1, column 3 can only take a 6, because nothing else fits once you check the row, the column and the 2×3 box.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
Next, row 1, column 4 must be a 3: the other five digits are all taken in that row, column or box.
Hint 3: nearly there
Third, row 1, column 1 can only take a 1, because every other digit already sits in its row, its column or its box. From there the rest falls into place.
