Mini Sudoku #449 opens with 14 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: five 1s, three 6s, two 2s, two 4s and two 5s. One cell is decided before you place anything: row 1, column 5.
Hints
Hint 1: where to start
Write a 3 at row 1, column 5; every other digit already sits in its row, its column or its box.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
Then row 1, column 1 must be a 6: nothing else fits once you check the row, the column and the 2×3 box.
Hint 3: nearly there
Then write a 1 at row 1, column 6; the other five digits are all taken in that row, column or box. The remaining cells follow the same three checks.
