## What is Futoshiki puzzle?

If you like Sudoku, then you'll love Futoshiki. Futoshiki is another popular Japanese numeric puzzle game.

 On a 5x5 grid the aim is to put, in each row and column, numbers from one to five, so they do not repeat themselves. Numbers must also respect the relational signs placed between some cells. Some cells may already be filled from the beginning. They are, like the relation signs, part of the puzzle and cannot be overwritten.

 The game includes a generator offering the player three difficulty levels, from easy through medium to hard. For each generated puzzle only one unique solution is guaranteed.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2025-01-01*

Completed the first puzzle and … the timer just kept ticking. No way to move to next puzzle. Total waste of time.

### 3/5 — Too many unrecognised correct solutions

*2021-12-15, version 2.1*

I enjoy this app apart from the occasions when I get a valid solution that isn’t recognised as such.

### 3/5 — Not bad

*2020-02-26*

Puzzles are pretty good, but they require credits. They give you three to start, meaning you only can do three puzzles.

The ability to pencil note numbers is awesome, but the font and and placeholder lines for the notes are tacky.

This could be good with some work.

### 5/5 — Awesome and addictive

*2017-06-12, version 2.1*

Love this app, it's my most used and gets me through many a train journey.
Recommend it hugely!
