Mastering Calcudoku
What is Calcudoku (Mathdoku)? +
Calcudoku is a logic-based math puzzle. While it shares the
"no-repeat" rule of Sudoku, it introduces "cages" with mathematical operators (+, -,
ร, รท). You must use basic arithmetic to reach the target number shown in each cage.
Is Calcudoku the same as KenKenยฎ? +
Yes, the gameplay is identical. KenKenยฎ is the trademarked
name. Calcudoku is the widely accepted open-source name for this brain-training
format, often referred to as Math Sudoku.
Can numbers repeat in a cage? +
Crucial Rule: A number can repeat
within a single cage, but it can never repeat in the same row or column.
This is the #1 strategy used to solve puzzles.
How do I solve subtraction and division cages? +
For subtraction (-) and division (รท) cages, the order does not
matter. If a 2-cell cage has a target of 3-, the numbers could be
(5, 2) or (2, 5), as long as the difference is 3.
