How Puzzle Page Futoshiki Works
A Latin square with inequality signs. Fill the grid so no digit repeats in a row or column, and every greater-than sign is satisfied.
Tips for Puzzle Page Futoshiki
- 1
Chains of inequalities are the fastest way in: three cells in a row forces the highest and lowest values.
- 2
In a grid of size N, a cell at the greater end of a chain of length N must hold the maximum digit.
- 3
Treat the inequality signs as hard constraints before you do any row or column scanning.
- 4
Corners with two signs are usually the most constrained cells on the board.
- 5
Follow the inequality chains first. A run of three increasing signs in a five-wide grid leaves very few arrangements, often only one.
- 6
The cell at the open end of the longest chain is forced to an extreme value — the smallest or largest digit the grid allows.

3 Tips for Puzzle Page
The board is the whole puzzle
Every answer is built from what the level actually shows you and nothing else. Counting that first rules out most of what comes to mind, which is quicker than trying words and being rejected.
Place the longest answer first
Long answers use up the awkward letters and leave a set that spells the short ones out for you. Starting long is consistently faster than sweeping for three-letter words.
Neighbouring levels are the best hint
Difficulty climbs gradually rather than in jumps, so the levels either side of a hard one reuse its patterns. They are more useful than any hint the game sells you.
How to Solve a Puzzle Page Level
The order that clears a board fastest.
Read what you are given
Letters, tiles or clues — count them before you start. That constraint is the strongest filter you have.
Anchor with the answers you are sure of
Each confirmed answer narrows the ones it touches, so the easy entries are worth the first minute.
Work outwards
Follow the chain from what you have placed rather than jumping around the board.
Verified Answers, Not Guesses
How we verify these answers
Every answer on this page is read from the game's own puzzle data rather than retyped from another site, and is checked against what the board actually provides — so nothing listed can use a letter the level does not give you. The counts shown are computed from the stored data, not typed in by hand.
