What is mini sudoku?
A mini sudoku is a small sudoku grid. The 4 by 4 grid has four 2 by 2 boxes and uses the digits 1 to 4. The 6 by 6 grid has six 2 by 3 boxes and uses 1 to 6. Every row, column and box holds each digit exactly once, and every puzzle has exactly one solution, checked by computer.
