LinkedIn Mini Sudoku #89 (Chi) Solution Guide - November 8, 2025

Welcome to today’s solution guide for the LinkedIn Mini Sudoku #89 (Chi), published on November 8, 2025. This 6x6 Sudoku puzzle challenges your logic and number placement skills, requiring each row, column, and 2x3 box to contain digits 1 through 6 exactly once. Let’s walk through the step-by-step reasoning to solve this puzzle using only the given clues.

Initial Clues and Setup

The puzzle starts with several cells filled in, giving us a solid foundation. Here are the clues we begin with:

• Row 2: 4 in column 2, 3 in column 6
• Row 3: 1 in column 3, 2 in column 5
• Row 4: 3 in column 2, 1 in column 4
• Row 5: 2 in column 1, 5 in column 5

Step 1: Filling in Obvious Singles

Start by scanning each row, column, and box for cells that can only be one number. For example, in row 5, we already have 2 and 5. Looking at the missing numbers (1, 3, 4, 6), we can use column and box constraints to narrow down possibilities.

Step 2: Using Box Constraints

Focus on the top-left 2x3 box. With 4 in row 2, column 2, and 3 in row 4, column 2, we can deduce where 1, 2, 5, and 6 must go. The cell at row 1, column 2 cannot be 4 or 3, and by checking the column, we can eliminate more options.

Step 3: Row and Column Elimination

Move to row 3, which has 1 and 2 already placed. The missing numbers are 3, 4, 5, 6. By checking the columns and boxes, we can place these numbers one by one. For instance, column 1 has 2 in row 5, so 2 cannot go in row 1, column 1.

Step 4: Advanced Placement

As more cells are filled, use the process of elimination to place the remaining numbers. For example, in column 6, we have 3 in row 2. The missing numbers are 1, 2, 4, 5, 6. By checking the rows and boxes, we can determine the correct placement for each.

Step 5: Finalizing the Grid

Continue this process for each row, column, and box until all cells are filled. Each step relies on the basic Sudoku rules and logical deduction, ensuring that every number from 1 to 6 appears exactly once in each row, column, and 2x3 box.

By following these steps, you can solve today’s LinkedIn Mini Sudoku #89 (Chi) puzzle with confidence. Practice these techniques daily to improve your Sudoku skills and enjoy the challenge of each new puzzle.
