About Kids Sudoku (PuzzleMadness)

Kids Sudoku uses the same rules as a normal sudoku on smaller grids. A 4x4 grid has 2x2 boxes and uses the numbers 1 to 4; a 6x6 grid has 3x2 boxes (sometimes arranged upright as 2x3) and uses 1 to 6. The daily page offers one puzzle a day, which PuzzleMadness rates Easy.

The daily page opens today's puzzle on its own, and its title carries the date (on 3 October 2026 it read "Daily Kids Sudoku Puzzle for Saturday 3rd October 2026 (Easy)"). The Kids Sudoku page has a single daily puzzle rather than a choice of levels. Past days stay in the archive, so a missed puzzle can be played later, and there is a print version and an image download of the grid. PuzzleMadness does not publish solutions: the site tells you when you have finished a grid correctly or made a mistake. Each completed puzzle adds to your total on the Kids Sudoku monthly and all-time leaderboards, where only your best score on any one puzzle counts.

It is a good first sudoku for children or anyone new to the rules, because there are few enough squares to check by eye. Once the 6x6 grids feel easy, the site's classic Sudoku on Easy is the next step.

PuzzleMadness is a British puzzle site with dozens of daily puzzle types in the browser, from many sudoku variants to logic grids such as Nurikabe, Hashi and Slitherlink. It is free to play and carries ads. A free account keeps track of the puzzles you have finished and puts your name on the leaderboards, and the badges next to usernames mark how many puzzles a player has completed.

How to play Kids Sudoku (PuzzleMadness)

1. Open the day's Kids Sudoku page; the day's small grid loads.
2. Look at each row, column and box to see which numbers are missing.
3. Fill a square when only one number can go there.
4. Finish the grid so every row, column and box holds each number once; the site tells you when you are done.

Tips

• Count what is missing from a row: on a 4x4 grid, three numbers in a row give away the fourth.
• Check the box shape on 6x6 grids; boxes can be wide or tall.
• Use pencil marks to note two possible numbers in a square.
