Cagey

Cagey is a cage puzzle played in the browser in English, Korean, Japanese, German, Spanish and Portuguese. The grid is split into outlined cages, each with a target number and an operation: add, multiply, subtract or divide. You fill each cage with numbers that combine to make its target.

The rules grow with the difficulty. On Easy you only have to make the cages work, with no row or column rules. On Medium a number cannot repeat within a row. On Hard and Expert it cannot repeat in a row or a column, which makes it a full KenKen-style grid. The Daily puzzle takes one of these levels in turn, so the challenge changes from day to day.

The daily grid is generated from the date in UTC, so every player solves the same one, and solve times go onto a daily leaderboard with weekly, monthly and all-time tables beside it. A timer, a streak counter, undo and three hints help along the way, and a share card turns your result into a grid of coloured squares. Outside the daily, you can play unlimited puzzles at any level, and a Challenge mode limits the numbers you can place.
