What counts as success
Fill a 4×4 Latin square and satisfy every cage arithmetic target. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. The example below illustrates a decision.
From the start of a round
- Select a square and enter 1–4.
- Combine all cage digits using its shown operation.
- Subtraction uses the absolute difference.
- Check puzzle verifies the entire grid.
How your actions work
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. Check any mode label before starting.
A closer look at one example
A two-cell 6× cage contains 2 and 3 in a 1–4 puzzle. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Look for the relevant detail.
A mistake to avoid
A correct cage total does not permit duplicate digits in a row. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
