Making selections and moves
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. Use one clear input at a time.
Work through an example
A two-cell 6× cage contains 2 and 3 in a 1–4 puzzle. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Read the matching step again.
A common point of confusion
A correct cage total does not permit duplicate digits in a row. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
