How CalcudokuGlyph works (60 seconds)

Latin-square logic + cage arithmetic. Clean rules, fast wins.

1) Fill the grid

Choose a size (4×4, 5×5, 6×6). Fill every row and column with digits 1..N. No repeats in a row or column.

Rows: 1..N Cols: 1..N No repeats

2) Solve cages

The grid is split into cages. Each cage has a target and (sometimes) an operator: + × − ÷. Your digits in that cage must match the target.

and ÷ appear on 2-cell cages only (either order).

Sum (+) Product (×) Diff (−) Quotient (÷)

3) Controls

Tap a cell to select it, then tap a number. Use Erase to clear a cell. Row/column repeats highlight instantly. Cage hints gently tint when complete.

Tap cell → tap digit Erase clears Instant duplicates

Tiny strategy that actually helps

Start with single-cell cages

Any cage with just a target (no operator) is a given digit. Use these as anchors.

Use row/col constraints early

If a row already has 1, 3, 4… the missing digit is forced. This often resolves a whole cage instantly.

2-cell ÷ and − cages are decisive

A ÷ cage target 3 means the pair must be (3,1) or (6,2) depending on size. That narrows options fast.

Don’t brute force products

For × cages, list factor pairs/triples that fit in 1..N, then cross-check row/col repeats.

Common questions

Are puzzles saved?

Only your stats (best time, plays, streak) are stored locally on this device.

Do − and ÷ care about order?

No. For 2-cell cages, either order is allowed: absolute difference and either-way division.

What does “Mistakes” do?

When Mistakes are on, entering an immediately invalid digit (row/col repeat or completed cage mismatch) increments the counter.

Quick get-going

Fill 1..N in every row and column (no repeats). Then satisfy every cage target using + × − ÷.

Cage rules
  • + sum equals target
  • × product equals target
  • (2 cells) absolute difference equals target
  • ÷ (2 cells) either-way division equals target
Controls
  • Tap a cell to select, then tap a digit.
  • Erase clears the selected cell.
  • Clear clears the whole grid (breaks streak if you started).
Mistakes
  • If Mistakes are On, an immediately invalid entry increments the counter.
  • Turn it off for a calm, no-pressure solve.
