How to play Calcudoku

Try Calcudoku at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Fill a 4×4 Latin square and satisfy every cage arithmetic target. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Look at what changes after your first action.

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

Focus on one rule

Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Refer to the controls when needed.

Your goal

Fill a 4×4 Latin square and satisfy every cage arithmetic target. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Keep the controls in easy reach.

Step by step

  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.

Controls

Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. A new-round button replaces the current round.

A useful 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.

Watch out for this

A correct cage total does not permit duplicate digits in a row. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
