Calcudoku FAQ
What makes 6x6 Calcudoku different?
6x6 uses numbers 1 to 6, so the available cage combinations, row pressure, and note-taking rhythm are different from other board sizes.

The small clue in the corner gives the target and operation. The cells in that cage must combine to that target while still respecting row and column uniqueness.
