Daily Futoshiki
Rate itFill a Latin square that obeys every greater-than and less-than sign, on one large grid a day.
on puzzle-futoshiki.com

The Special Daily Futoshiki on puzzle-futoshiki.com is one large Futoshiki a day, the same for every player. You fill the grid so each row and column holds each number once, and every greater-than or less-than sign between two cells is true. The daily is bigger than the 9x9 grids in the regular list, so letters stand in for numbers above 9.
About Daily Futoshiki
Futoshiki, also called More or Less, is a Latin square with inequality signs. On a grid of size n you place the numbers 1 to n so that each appears once in every row and once in every column. Between some neighbouring cells sits a < or > sign, and the numbers on either side must respect it. A few cells may start with a number, but most of the work comes from the signs.
Puzzle-futoshiki.com has Easy, Normal and Hard grids from 4x4 to 9x9, a Renzoku variant, and Special Daily, Weekly and Monthly puzzles. The daily is one dated grid for every player; the puzzles of 2 and 21 October 2026 were 11 by 11, and on grids bigger than 9 the site uses letters, so A follows 9 and B follows A. Pencil notes, highlighting of the current row and column, and automatic removal of notes are among the settings. The site shows ads; patrons, from 1 dollar a month, lose the ads and can go back through the last 30 dailies, 10 weeklies and 5 monthlies. The site's screens come in English and fourteen other languages, and a Hall of Fame lists the fastest solvers.
Futoshiki suits sudoku players who want a different source of clues: there are no boxes, and chains of signs do much of the work. The larger daily grids are a long solve, so it fits a weekend or a quiet evening.
How to play Daily Futoshiki
- Open puzzle-futoshiki.com and choose Special Daily Futoshiki.
- Note the range: on the daily grid you use the numbers 1 to 9 and then letters (A after 9, then B and so on) up to the grid size.
- Fill each row and each column so that every value appears exactly once.
- Check every sign between two cells: the open side of < or > faces the larger value.
- Use pencil notes for candidates, and press Done (or Enter) when the grid is complete.

Tips
- A cell on the larger side of a sign can never hold the smallest value, and a cell on the smaller side can never hold the largest.
- Follow chains: in a chain of three cells with a < b < c, a cannot be one of the two largest values and c cannot be one of the two smallest.
- Once the smallest or largest value is placed in a line, update every sign in that line; it often frees the next value.
- Work row and column at once, as in sudoku: if a value fits only one cell in a row, it goes there.
Questions
Why are there letters in the daily Futoshiki?
The daily grid can be bigger than 9x9; on 21 October 2026 it was 11x11. The site's rules say letters follow after 9, so on an 11x11 grid you use 1 to 9, A and B.
When does the daily Futoshiki change?
At midnight UTC, following the date on the site's clock, which runs on UTC.
What is Renzoku?
A separate puzzle type on the same site with its own sizes and specials. This page covers the Special Daily Futoshiki.
Can I play older daily Futoshiki puzzles?
The page keeps a list of the last 30 dailies, but going back to them is one of the perks for patrons, who pay from 1 dollar a month. The regular Easy, Normal and Hard grids from 4x4 to 9x9 are free to play as often as you like.
