Sudoku Variants for Kids: 6x6, Greater-Than 5x5 and Even-Odd Sudoku
Children move beyond standard 4x4 Sudoku. A 6x6 Sudoku with 2x3 boxes needs more careful scanning, a greater-than puzzle adds inequality signs, and an even-odd puzzle marks squares that must hold an even number. Each has exactly one solution.
