A 12-given start for Mini Sudoku #453, laid out symmetrically as usual. Row 1 already has 2 of its six digits, so it closes early. You get four 2s, three 1s, two 3s, one 4, one 5 and one 6. Your first certain move is at row 2, column 5.
Hints
Hint 1: where to start
Row 2, column 5 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 2, column 3 must be a 5: the other five digits are all taken in that row, column or box.
Hint 3: nearly there
Third, row 1, column 3 can only take a 6, because every other digit already sits in its row, its column or its box. From there the rest falls into place.
