Calcudoku: learn through an example

Start Calcudoku by looking at the playing area and its controls. Fill a 4×4 Latin square and satisfy every cage arithmetic target. Look at what changes after your first action. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

Twelve puzzles with addition, multiplication, subtraction and singleton cages.

A focus for your next round

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Make the next step deliberately.

Your objective

Fill a 4×4 Latin square and satisfy every cage arithmetic target. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Start with a deliberate move.

A walkthrough of the rules

  1. Select a square and enter 1–4.
  2. Combine all cage digits using its shown operation.
  3. Subtraction uses the absolute difference.
  4. Check puzzle verifies the entire grid.

Your inputs

Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. A new-round button replaces the current round.

Work through an example

A two-cell 6× cage contains 2 and 3 in a 1–4 puzzle. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Consider the next action carefully.

Keep this in mind

A correct cage total does not permit duplicate digits in a row. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
