What is the game like?

SquareLogic is similar to number-based logic games such as Sudoku, but you'd best buckle up 'cause this ain't your daddy's Sudoku.

Here's a brief summary of how the game works (explained in more detail in-game):

  • Your goal is to solve the puzzle by filling each square in the board with a number.

  • No number can appear twice in the same row or column.
  • Each board is divided into differently-colored "cages".
  • Each cage shows a "rule" in the top-left corner (such as 9+, 12x, or Odd).
  • The answers for the squares in each cage must satisfy the rule. For example:
    • A rule of 9+ means the squares in that cage must add up to 9.
    • A rule of 12x means the squares in that cage must multiply together to equal 12.
    • A rule of 1- means the two squares in that cage must subtract (in any order) to equal 1.
    • A rule of means the two squares must divide evenly (in any order) to equal 2.
    • A rule of 3= means that is a single-square cage whose value must be 3.
    • A rule of Even means that all squares in this cage must have odd values (2, 4, 6, or 8).
    • A rule of Odd means that all squares in this cage must have odd values (1, 3, 5, 7, or 9).
    • A rule of Straight means that all squares in this cage must form a "straight" (like poker), IN ANY ORDER (for example: 4,3,5).
    • A rule of <,> (or the "comparison" rule) means that all squares in this cage show greater-than/less-than signs to indicate their size relative to each other.
    • Note that all cage rules - especially Subtraction, Division, and Straight - can function in any order.
  • At the bottom of each square are the possible Candidate numbers for that square.
  • To enter a number into a square, left-click on a Candidate or press a number key.
  • To eliminate a Candidate, right-click it to toggle it as "impossible". On larger puzzles, this is VERY USEFUL.
  • Some puzzles are Double Board puzzles; for these puzzles, both boards have the same answers, and you solve them both simultaneously!

  • Other puzzles have Hidden Cages; you have to discern where the cages must go and paint in their colors as you solve the puzzle. Our favorite mode!

Tutorial

A tutorial is available in-game that explains the basics of how to play.

If you choose not to do the tutorial (we recommend that you do), the instructor will provide dialogs to teach you new rules as you go.

Use the "Solving Tip" button

Be sure to use the Solving Tip button within the game if you get stuck or confused on any puzzle. Solving Tips never come right out and tell you the answer; they give you suggestions on which areas of the puzzle to consider, and will get more specific each time you press the button consecutively.

Basic controls

When playing a puzzle:

  • Left-click on a candidate (at the bottom of each square) to set that value in the square
  • Right-click on a candidate to mark it as being IMPOSSIBLE; with larger and more difficult boards, this is the most important move you make.
  • Click the "X" in the upper-right corner of a square to clear its value.

If you're into Hotkeys, we've got 'em:

  • Set a value: Press a number key
  • Toggle a candidate: Shift + number key
  • Clear a value: Delete, Backspace, Space Bar, or 0 (zero)
  • Undo/Redo: Control+Z and Control+Y, respectively
  • Toggle all of one candidate in a cage: Shift + Right-Click

*Well, not in any legal sense do we promise. But we dig it. And we think you will, too.

Exciting Online Games for Puzzle Masters

Puzzle games can also be present at online casinos; however, they differ from the traditional layout or concept. Classic puzzles give you the satisfaction of solving them, which is the final goal. However, at online casinos, you will get the satisfaction of beating the game and claiming some monetary prizes. Not all casino sites allow you to play these kinds of games; however, you can expect puzzle games to be included on top-tier online platforms. One recommended operator constantly praised by the community is Leo Vegas, which has been operating since 2012. Sign up on the site and explore all the Casino LeoVegas features for non-stop entertainment. The registration process will take a few minutes. Later, you can browse the site and check out the game portfolio, promotion page, etc. If you are lucky enough, you can get your hands on some deposit-less perks and play any available game you desire. On top of all that, the operator allows players to access the platform both on desktop and mobile devices. If you want to play on the go, all you have to do is fire up your mobile browser, enter the URL of the site, and log in to your existing account.
