A small practice goal

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. Make the next step deliberately.

The objective of a round

Fill a 4×4 Latin square and satisfy every cage arithmetic target. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Keep the controls in easy reach.

How a round unfolds

  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.

Keyboard and screen controls

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. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

Put the rules into context

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. Keep the game’s format in mind.

An important reminder

A correct cage total does not permit duplicate digits in a row. Check the rule before repeating the action. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
