KenKen Daily Logic Puzzle (official app)

About KenKen Daily Logic Puzzle (official app)

KenKen is a number logic puzzle that appears daily in The New York Times. Like sudoku, each row and column of an N by N grid must contain the numbers 1 to N once. The grid is also divided into outlined cages, each with a target number and an operation such as 72x or 3-, and the numbers in a cage must produce that target with that operation. Every puzzle has a single solution reachable by logic.

This app, released in 2026 by the official KenKen company, focuses on a daily routine. Each day brings a new daily puzzle for every size from 3x3 up to 9x9, so a beginner can start small while experienced solvers tackle the larger grids. As with many newspaper puzzles, difficulty climbs through the week from an easy Monday to tough weekend puzzles.

Solving daily builds a streak that unlocks achievements and rewards, and a statistics section tracks average and best times per grid size and recent trends. Outside the dailies you can generate new puzzles at a chosen size and difficulty. A Premium membership is offered for extra features.

It suits sudoku fans who want arithmetic in the mix, families learning maths, and experts who like racing the clock.

Tips

• Start with single-cell cages, they are given answers.
• Large multiplication targets narrow the options quickly.
• For subtraction and division cages of two cells, list the few possible pairs.
