Kids Sudoku 6x6 is a simplified version of the classic Sudoku puzzle, tailored for children. Instead of numbers, it uses simple symbols, such as shapes or animals, to make it more engaging and appropriate for children. The objective is to fill the grid in such a way that each row, column, and specified region (or sub-square) contains all of the symbols without any repetition.

Basic Rules

1. Grid Structure: The puzzle consists of a 6x6 grid, which may be subdivided into smaller regions (e.g., 2x3 areas).
2. Symbols: Instead of numbers, various symbols (like stars, circles, squares, etc.) are used.
3. No Repetition: Each symbol must appear exactly once in each row, column, and designated region.

Additional Rules

• Pre-filled Symbols: Some symbols will already be placed in the grid to provide a starting point.
• Unique Solutions: A well-designed Kids Sudoku should have one and only one solution.

Basic Solving Tips

1. Look for Givens: Start by identifying which symbols are already provided in the rows, columns, and regions.
2. Elimination: Determine where symbols cannot go, thereby reducing the options for placing symbols in other cells.
3. Single Possibility: If a cell is the only one in its row, column, or region that can contain a particular symbol, place it there.
4. Avoid Guessing: Use logical deduction rather than guessing to avoid potential mistakes.
5. Check as You Go: Regularly check rows, columns, and regions to ensure no rules are being broken.
