About the game

How KenKen works,
in short.

  1. Step 01

    Cages with a target and a sign.

    Each heavy outline is a cage. Its small label — like 6× or 3+ — is the target and the operation. Fill every row and every column with the numbers 1 to 4, each exactly once (1 to 6 on the largest board).

    Select a cell, then type 1–4.

    Tap a cell to select it, then type a number or tap the pad below the board. The cage's numbers must combine — added, subtracted, multiplied or divided — to its target. A number repeated in a row or column lights up so you can fix it.

    Every cage on target, no repeats.

    Finish when each row and column holds 1 to 4 once and every cage reaches its target — here 3+ is 1+2, 6× is 2×3, 2÷ is 2÷1. That solves the puzzle.
