Calcudoku: how a round works
Choose a round of Calcudoku and settle into its rules. Fill a 4×4 Latin square and satisfy every cage arithmetic target. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Twelve puzzles with addition, multiplication, subtraction and singleton cages.
Practice with a purpose
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. Keep the objective visible.
The purpose of your moves
Fill a 4×4 Latin square and satisfy every cage arithmetic target. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Take a moment to understand the current position.
How a round unfolds
- 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.
The controls to know
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.
An example to follow
A two-cell 6× cage contains 2 and 3 in a 1–4 puzzle. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Choose a deliberate next step.
Pay attention to this rule
A correct cage total does not permit duplicate digits in a row. Check the rule before repeating the action. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
