Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your objective
Fill a 4×4 Latin square and satisfy every cage arithmetic target. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
The order of play
- 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.
Put the rules into context
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. Keep the controls nearby.
Where a round can go wrong
A correct cage total does not permit duplicate digits in a row. Check the rule before repeating the action. 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.
