Inclusion Exclusion Dice Problem

What is the probabililty if you throw six dice, at least one number will appear exactly once?

I know it involves the inclusion exclusion principle but i'm still confused about how to solve it

Consider Ai to be the set of dice rolls that have number i appearing exactly once.

You want to find $\frac{\left|\begin{array}{c}6\\\bigcup\\i=1\end{ar ray} A_i\right|}{\left|\mbox{The set of all possible dice rolls}\right|}$

Apply the inclusion-exclusion principle to find $\left|\begin{array}{c}6\\\bigcup\\i=1\end{array} A_i\right|$
