Calcudoku: how a round works

Try Calcudoku at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Fill a 4×4 Latin square and satisfy every cage arithmetic target. Look at what changes after your first action. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.

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

Practice with a purpose

Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Make the next step deliberately.

What counts as success

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.

Follow these playing steps

  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.

How to use the controls

Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. Read a button’s label before selecting it. A new-round button replaces the current round.

See how the rules apply

A two-cell 6× cage contains 2 and 3 in a 1–4 puzzle. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the controls nearby.

Notice this detail

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.
