Build familiarity through play
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Keep the objective visible.
The goal to keep in mind
Place 1–4 once in each row and column while obeying every inequality. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.
Follow these playing steps
- 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. Use one clear input at a time.
An example to follow
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. Take a moment to compare.
One detail worth checking
An inequality specifies order, not an exact difference. Check the rule before repeating the action. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
