Play Futoshiki free online. Fill the 5×5 grid with 1–5 so every row and column is unique and every < / > sign holds. One logical solution, freshly generated.
Tap a cell to cycle 1–5. Each row and column needs 1–5 once, and the open side of every < / > sign must point to the larger number.
Futoshiki is a pure logic puzzle in the family of Sudoku — but with a clever twist. You fill a 5×5 grid so that every row and every column contains the numbers 1 to 5 exactly once, just like a Latin square. What makes it sing are the inequality signs scattered between cells: each '<' or '>' tells you which of two neighbours is bigger, and your solution must respect every one of them.
Because most puzzles start nearly empty, the inequalities do the heavy lifting. A single '>' at the edge can pin a 5; a chain of '<' signs forces an ascending run; and the no-repeats rule of rows and columns ties everything together. There's no guessing — every step follows logically from what you already know, which makes solving one feel like a small, satisfying proof.
It runs instantly in your browser on phone, tablet or desktop — no download, no sign-up, completely free. Tap a cell to cycle through the numbers, with cells that break a rule flagged in red so slips are easy to catch. Every puzzle is freshly generated with a guaranteed unique, logic-solvable answer, your grid is saved automatically, and the next one is a tap away. A calm, brain-stretching break whenever you want one.
Tap a cell to set its number, cycling 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and back to empty. Fill the 5×5 grid so each row and column has 1–5 exactly once and every inequality sign between cells is satisfied. Locked given cells can't be changed.
They show which neighbour is larger: the open (wide) side of the sign points to the bigger number. So 2 < 5 and 5 > 2. Vertical signs (∧ and ∨) work the same way between cells stacked above and below.
Yes. Each puzzle is generated and then checked by a solver to confirm it has exactly one solution, reachable by logic alone — you never have to guess.
That's by design — Futoshiki leans on its inequality clues rather than given digits. The signs, combined with the no-repeats rule, are enough to pin down the whole grid.
Yes — your grid is stored in your browser after every tap, so you can close the tab and continue the same puzzle later on the same device. The Start button reads 'Continue' when a saved puzzle exists.
Completely free, with no install or sign-up, and built mobile-first with large tap-to-cycle cells on a grid that fits any screen.
