About Mini Sudoku (Daily Mail)

Mini Sudoku is one of about thirty puzzles on the Daily Mail games page, free in the browser with ads. Each one opens on a start screen that carries the day's date, and every reader gets the same puzzle that day.

The grid is smaller than a classic 9x9, so a solve takes a few minutes, and the rule is the familiar one: each row, column and box must contain every digit once with no repeats. It suits newcomers to sudoku and anyone who wants a short daily warm-up.

The puzzle opens behind the Daily Mail's consent screen, where you either accept personalised ads or buy an ad-free subscription. It suits readers who like a mini sudoku with their news and want a fresh one every day.

How to play Mini Sudoku (Daily Mail)

  1. Open Mini Sudoku on the Daily Mail games page.
  2. Fill each empty square with a digit.
  3. Keep every row, column and box free of repeats.
  4. Finish the grid to complete the day.

Tips

  • On a small grid, one digit placed often settles a whole box; follow each placement through.
