About Yadoku
A daily dice-placement puzzle. You place dice one at a time on a small grid, and every row and column gets scored against a list of combos: Two Pair, Small Straight, All Odds, Four of a Kind. The same die counts toward both its row and its column, so each placement is a tiny optimization problem. Same dice for everyone, every day. The same 16 random rolls land in your hands as in everyone else's. Your score sits next to a histogram of the world's scores on the same puzzle. Was today an easy 8/8 or a brutal 4/8? You'll know. WHAT'S IN IT • Daily 4×4: 16 dice, max 8 points. New puzzle every day at midnight local time. • Weekly 5×5: 25 dice, max 10 points. Harder grid, fresh puzzle every Monday. • Gauntlet: a survival run of back-to-back boards with climbing score targets. Three hearts, a perk to draft after every clear, and one question: how far can you go? • Twist: 20 puzzles that each bend one rule. Blocked cells, locked dice, no-undo boards, or a golden cell that doubles every line through it. • Free Play: unlimited 4×4 or 5×5 puzzles for practice or warm-up. • Challenges: 100 hand-curated puzzles across 4×4 and 5×5 where a perfect score is always reachable. Earn 1, 2, or 3 stars per level. Ordered easy to hard. • Community: browse puzzles other players have shared. Build your own and share via link. • Streaks: daily and weekly streaks track how many days or weeks in a row you've played. • Stats: average score, best score, score distribution over time. NO ADS, NO TRACKING No banners. No interstitials. No analytics SDKs. The only network calls Yadoku makes are to your account (if you sign in) and to the daily-puzzle service. See the in-app Privacy page for the full data inventory: plain language, no surprises. OPTIONAL SIGN-IN You can play forever without signing in. If you do sign in (magic-link email, no passwords), your stats sync across iPhone, iPad, and the web at yadoku.app. The email is only used for the sign-in link. OFFLINE FRIENDLY Free play and challenges work offline always. Daily and weekly puzzles work offline once they've loaded.
What’s new
Version 2.1.0 · Updated August 25, 2026
Learn the combos. A new tutorial on the home screen teaches every scoring combo through hands-on lessons. Each one hands you a nearly-finished board and the dice to complete it, so you see exactly how a combo is made and watch it score. Replay any lesson whenever you want a refresher.
