DogPuzzle

No forced ads!!!
Just 3 rules!

One dog in each color region. One in every row and every column, too.
Dogs can't touch each other. Not even diagonally.

That's all. You'll pick up the rest one step at a time.


[ How to play ]

Tap an empty cell once to mark an X. Tap twice to place a dog.
The trick is to mark "not here" with an X.

Swipe your finger across cells to mark X on all of them at once.
Press and hold a cell to mark X on every empty cell in its row, column, color region, and right next to it.

Every puzzle has exactly one solution, so as you rule out the wrong spots, the answer reveals itself.
No guessing, no luck.

New to it? The tutorial walks you through it step by step.


[ Playing solo ]

Start at 4x4. The board grows as you go, all the way up to 10x10.

Stuck? The hint looks at your board and picks what you need.
If your X marks are falling behind, it fills them in. If everything is tidy, it shows you where to place a dog.


[ Daily Puzzle Time Trial ]

Once a day, race the clock. The board grows by weekday, from 6x6 on Monday to 10x10 on Sunday.
No hints, just skill. While you play, a top-ranked player's record runs alongside you as a bar.
When you finish, find your place in the Time ranking.


[ Number Puzzle ]

Unlocks at level 15. Some cells show a number: how many dogs sit in the eight cells around it.
Number Puzzle has its own ranking.


[ The Walk ]

A limited-time event. Carry your bones and solve puzzle after puzzle to see how far you can walk.
When the event ends, rewards arrive in your Mailbox based on your rank.


[ Playing together ]

Just send a friend a 6-digit room code and you're ready to go.
Choose from 1:1, 1:1:1, 2:2, and co-op 2:2.

Everyone gets the exact same board at the same moment. There's no room for luck.
The first to solve it wins. In 2:2, their team wins.

Turn on "Allow pranks" when you create a room, and the dogs will play tricks mid-round. Maybe a gift, maybe fog.
It starts off, so if you just want a quiet test of skill, leave it as is.

In co-op 2:2, you and your partner take turns, one move each. No pranks, no talking. You signal each other with X marks only.


[ 100 dogs ]

The dog you pick in your profile sits on your board. You can also choose to see many different dogs.
