Know the goal in Futoshiki
Make Futoshiki your next activity in the game library. Place 1–4 once in each row and column while obeying every inequality. Use the example below to understand a decision. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Twelve 4×4 puzzles with fixed starter values.
Bring this focus to a round
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Refer to the controls when needed.
What counts as success
Place 1–4 once in each row and column while obeying every inequality. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
The playing sequence
- Select an editable square.
- Read inequalities by their row/column coordinates below the board.
- Enter 1–4.
- Check puzzle verifies both Latin-square rules and inequalities.
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. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. A new-round button replaces the current round.
A useful example
r1c2 < r1c3 means row 1 column 2 is smaller than row 1 column 3. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Look for the relevant detail.
Pay attention to this rule
An inequality specifies order, not an exact difference. Check the rule before repeating the action. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
