Follow the steps for 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. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Twelve 4×4 puzzles with fixed starter values.
A small practice goal
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Notice the feedback after each input.
What counts as success
Place 1–4 once in each row and column while obeying every inequality. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
Step by step
- 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.
The controls to know
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. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
Learn from a sample situation
r1c2 < r1c3 means row 1 column 2 is smaller than row 1 column 3. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Check the stated objective.
An important reminder
An inequality specifies order, not an exact difference. A different version of the game may use a different rule. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
