Logic puzzles

Choose your starting point

  • Start the regular game if you want to learn by playing. Place one puppy in each row, column and color region; no two may touch, including diagonally.
  • Browse 200 levels for a continuing challenge. The collection moves from 8×8 to 10×10 boards and saves progress in the current browser.
  • Play the daily Queens puzzle for one shared board per UTC date. The first solve for a date is kept as your result; replays do not replace it.
  • Revisit past daily puzzles if you want a permanent board to share or a folded solution to check. Reviewed dates also include opening deductions.

New to colored-grid puzzles?

You do not need chess experience or Sudoku number techniques. Most cells stay empty: the task is to prove where each puppy belongs. Start with the rules, controls and common mistakes, then use the strategy guide to decide what to look for when a board seems stuck.

What to expect when you play

All current levels and daily puzzles are free. There is no account to create and no app to install. Touch controls work on phones and tablets; keyboard controls work on computers. Progress is local to your browser, so it does not automatically sync across devices. Open the game with an internet connection; guaranteed offline play is not a current feature.

Every playable board is checked for a unique solution and logical solvability. Hints explain a next deduction, while Sniff and Fetch provide stronger help. If a puzzle or explanation seems wrong, tell us which date or level you were playing.
