Mini Sudoku #439 opens with 10 givens on the 6×6 grid. The givens are not laid out symmetrically today, so scan every box rather than trusting a pattern. Counting the givens: two 1s, two 2s, two 5s, two 6s, one 3 and one 4. The first cell that has exactly one option is row 2, column 2.
Hints
Hint 1: where to start
Write a 6 at row 2, column 2; it is the only place left for a 6 in row 2.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
Then row 6, column 2 must be a 4: nothing else fits once you check the row, the column and the 2×3 box.
Hint 3: nearly there
Then write a 5 at row 6, column 3; the other five digits are all taken in that row, column or box. The remaining cells follow the same three checks.
