Try this math game with magic squares if you like sudoku! Futoshiki (不等式, futōshiki), or More or Less, is a logic puzzle game from Japan. Its name means "inequality". It is also spelled hutosiki (using Kunrei-shiki romanization). Futoshiki was developed by Tamaki Seto in 2001. The puzzle is played on a square grid. The objective is to place the numbers such that each row and column contains only one of each digit (similar to the Sudoku rules). Some digits may be given at the start. Inequality constraints are initially specified between some of the squares, such that one must be higher or lower than its neighbor. These constraints must be honored in order to complete the puzzle. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futoshiki Get an amazing Futoshiki experience: ● puzzle sizes: 4x4, 5x5, 6x6, 7x7 ● difficulty levels: easy, normal, hard ● simple, intuitive controls ● daily challenges ● challenge others to beat your solve time ● works offline ● light and dark themes Challenge your brain with Futoshiki anywhere, anytime!

Very disappointed to find that all of the puzzles appear to be randomly generated. You can tell because to solve them it requires a lot of brute forcing and a lot of the clues within a puzzle are redundant. There's a "fill" button that makes it easier to brute force the puzzles, but it doesn't take into account the squares you've already filled so it's next to useless.

The "Fill" button does not take into account cells that the player has filled in himself, because he may make a mistake. Only those cells whose values are known exactly are taken into account.
