Weather Memoku (Puzzmo)

Weather Memoku is one of the daily games on Puzzmo, the puzzle site that also runs Really Bad Chess, Typeshift and SpellTower. It takes Puzzmo's number game Memoku, shrinks it to a 6x6 board and swaps the numbers for little illustrations tied to the forecast, so a rainy day looks different from a sunny or snowy one. Puzzmo announced it as a cross between Memory and sudoku, with forecast animations supplied by The Weather Channel.

Each day there is one free board, the same for everyone. A few tiles start face up. On 26 October 2026 the board was headed Galapagos Islands with the local time, and its pictures were a teapot, a stack of books, a banjo, a bowl of noodles, a juice box and a cloud. You turn the others over two at a time, trying to find pairs. A miss turns both tiles face down again, and every flip tells you something: each of the six pictures sits exactly once in each row and once in each column, so a tile you have seen rules that picture out of the rest of its row and column. Keep matching until the whole grid is uncovered.

What sets it apart from a plain memory game is that you are not relying on luck or recall alone; logic narrows down where a match can be, and a good flip can be worked out rather than guessed. The board is small and the game is forgiving, so it suits a short, calm break, and it works well for people who like sudoku but want something gentler.

The credits name Jack Schlesinger and Zach Gage for the game design and Jack Schlesinger for the puzzles. Points fall as time passes, so a quick solve scores more, and a timer runs at the top of the board.
