A small Hidoku puzzle – but not too easy!
I believe that after all the puzzles that I’ve created and posted for you, you know that I prefer them difficult.
It seems that there is a belief that the difficulty of Hidoku can only be increased by increasing it’s size. I know for a fact that it’s not true, because some of the Hidoku puzzles that I’ve created are really fiendish.
Anyway, today’s puzzle is a small-but-not-too-easy one. I’d like to hear from you how you rate it’s difficulty.

Maybe I was lucky but todays puzzle 6×6 only took about 3 mins to solve
However Tuesdays 11×11 kept me going for half a day
Absolutely love these puzzles -keep them coming

Thanks for your comment Dave.
Surely, smaller puzzles shouldn’t take long to fill out (there are only 23 numbers missing, after all), but the point, or rather my question, is that it wasn’t just automatic, filling in the numbers, you did have to think a little bit, right?

It took me less than 3 minutes to solve the puzzle. Once I picked on the “musts” the rest was easy…..

I’d have to go with super easy as well. I still haven’t finished last week’s 11×11 version, but this was 2 minutes or so. But keep ‘em coming!

The 11×11 is on this same page, just a little lower on Oct 28. It took me a long time, I loved it!
