Best Free Calcudoku Game

Fill a Latin square so each cage hits its target with +, −, × or ÷.

Filled: 0 / 0 · Conflicts: 0

Click a cell and type a number from 1 to N (the grid size). Every row and every column must hold each number exactly once. The clue in the corner of each dashed cage — like 6× or 3− — is the target its cells must reach using the shown operator; for + and × the order doesn't matter, for − and ÷ it's the larger combined with the smaller.

How to play

  1. Read the cage clue. Each dashed cage shows a target and an operator, like 6× or 3−. The cells in the cage must combine with that operator to make the target.
  2. Fill the Latin square. Click a cell and type a number from 1 to the grid size. Every row and every column must contain each number exactly once.
  3. Satisfy every cage. When the grid is full, every row and column is repeat-free and every cage hits its target, the puzzle is solved.

About Calcudoku (KenKen)

Calcudoku, also known by the brand name KenKen, is a number puzzle that blends a Latin square with arithmetic. Fill the grid so every row and every column holds each number from 1 to N exactly once — where N is the grid size. The grid is split into dashed cages, and each cage shows a target and an operator: the cage's cells must combine with that operator (addition, subtraction, multiplication or division) to produce the target. For + and × the order of the cells doesn't matter; for − and ÷ it's the larger value combined with the smaller. Every board is generated fresh from a valid Latin square. The grid grows with difficulty — 4×4 on easy, 5×5 on normal and 6×6 on hard. No signup.

Frequently asked questions

Fill the grid so each row and column contains the numbers 1 to N once each, where N is the grid size. Then make every dashed cage reach its target using the operator shown — addition, subtraction, multiplication or division.

Essentially yes. KenKen is a trademarked name for the same puzzle; Calcudoku is the generic term. Both ask you to complete a Latin square while satisfying arithmetic cage clues.

Subtraction and division cages always have two cells, and you take the larger value combined with the smaller. A 3− cage means the two numbers differ by 3; a 2÷ cage means the larger divides the smaller to give 2. For + and × the order does not matter.

A number cannot repeat within a row or column, but a cage that spans two different rows and columns may contain the same number twice — the only hard rule inside a cage is that its cells reach the target with the given operator.

Difficulty sets the grid size: easy is 4×4, normal is 5×5 and hard is 6×6. Larger grids mean more numbers per line and more cages to satisfy.
