Free printable kropki
Kropki is a Latin-square puzzle that hides most of its clues in the gaps between cells. You fill a 6x6 so every row and every column holds the digits 1 through 6 once. A white dot between two cells means those values are consecutive; a black dot means one is double the other. Solvers who like Sudoku's placement logic but want a smaller board with arithmetic hints tend to like it.
Solution page included
Peek at the solution
This page gives you a 6x9 inch high-resolution PNG of a 6x6 Kropki with a few starting digits already placed, plus a matching solution PNG. The rest of the clues are the black and white dots between the squares. There is no signup: print the page and fill the empty cells with a pencil.
How to play
- Fill the 6x6 so each row and each column contains 1 through 6 exactly once.
- Read a white dot as consecutive values that differ by 1.
- Read a black dot as a double pair: one value is twice the other.
- Treat cells with no dot between them as neither consecutive nor double.
- Remember a 1-and-2 pair is always marked white, then check the solution PNG.
Print at 100% scale on letter or A4 paper so the black and white dots between the 6x6 cells stay easy to see.
Frequently asked questions
Where can I check the finished Kropki grid?
The matching solution PNG is on this page next to the puzzle. It shows every digit in the 6x6, so you can confirm the white consecutive dots and the black doubles after you fill the blanks.
Is this 6x6 Kropki free to print?
Yes. The puzzle and the solution download as free PNG files with no signup. Print them for personal use as often as you like; there is no PDF pack and no account wall.
Who will enjoy this Kropki printable?
It is a good next step for solvers who know Sudoku and want a smaller Latin square with extra constraints. The dots force consecutive and doubling pairs, so it rewards careful counting more than guessing. Teens and adults who like pencil logic usually finish a 6x6 in one sitting.
How do I print this Kropki so the dots stay visible?
Print the PNG at 100% scale on letter or A4 paper. The cells sit slightly apart so the black and white dots can sit between them; shrinking the 6x9 layout makes those dots easy to miss. Use black ink or grayscale and turn off fit-to-page.
