Understand the basics of Calcudoku
Make Calcudoku your next activity in the game library. Fill a 4×4 Latin square and satisfy every cage arithmetic target. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Begin with the solo mode shown on the page. Use the example below to understand a decision.
Twelve puzzles with addition, multiplication, subtraction and singleton cages.
A small practice goal
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Make the next step deliberately.
What you are aiming for
Fill a 4×4 Latin square and satisfy every cage arithmetic target. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
Work through the instructions
- 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.
Choosing and moving on screen
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. Use the control method described here for this activity. Check any mode label before starting.
Try this 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. Look for the relevant detail.
Keep this in mind
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.
