Memoku

Memoku is a Puzzmo daily designed by Zach Gage and Jack Schlesinger, with the puzzles made by Schlesinger, as the game's credits show. It grew out of Weather Memoku, which the two launched on Puzzmo in October 2024: a memory game on a sudoku-style grid whose pictures follow your local forecast. The number version became a regular daily and came with Puzzmo's iPhone app in 2025.

The board is a 9 by 9 sudoku grid with some numbers showing and the rest blank. Tap a blank tile and its number is revealed; then find another hidden tile with the same number to make a match. The sudoku rule does much of the work: a number appears once in each row, column and box, so when a 5 turns up the game shades the cells where its partner cannot be. You can play it like a plain memory game, flipping at random, or plan each flip from what the grid already shows.

Each day three stars sit on random tiles. Match a starred pair on the first try to earn its star, and earn a bonus star for each star matched before your 25th flip. Your time and mistakes are kept, and everyone plays the same dated board.

It suits sudoku players who want something lighter, and memory game players who want a bit more logic. The daily is free to play in a browser without an account; Puzzmo Plus opens the archive and removes the ads.
