LinkedIn Mini Sudoku #285 Hints
Remember this is a 6x6 Mini Sudoku: each row, column and 2x3 box must contain digits 1–6 once. Scan for rows, columns or boxes that already contain multiple given numbers — they give the strongest early eliminations.
In this puzzle several givens appear in columns 1, 2 and 6. Use those columns to eliminate candidates in intersecting boxes. When a column already contains two different digits, the remaining four cells are constrained and often produce single-candidate cells after checking their boxes.
Boxes that share a column or row (for example the bottom-left box and the middle-left box) will often force positions when a number can only go in one row or column inside that box. Look at boxes with one or two givens first — the remaining numbers are limited.
After eliminating candidates from rows, columns and boxes, some cells will have a single possible number. Fill those first and then re-run elimination across the grid: singletons create cascades in Mini Sudoku.
If a number can only appear in one column inside a box, it forces that number in that column and eliminates it from that column’s other boxes. Use that technique to break ties — it’s particularly useful on today's LinkedIn Mini Sudoku puzzle when boxes share columns with the givens.
Work from the givens, fill forced cells, then re-check rows/columns/boxes. These Mini Sudoku hints are tailored for LinkedIn Mini Sudoku #285 (2026-05-23 15:00:31) — use columns 1, 2 and 6 plus the 2x3 box constraints to make steady progress without seeing the full solution yet.
