Meow Number Grid

About the Game

Meow Number Grid is a number logic puzzle with original artwork from Kiwi Cat Games. Some numbers are already on the board; your job is to fill in the rest so that every row, every column and every box outlined in bold contains each number from 1 to N exactly once. Select a square, then tap a number below to fill it in.

There are four difficulty levels: Starter 4×4 (1–4), Easy 6×6 (1–6), Normal 9×9 and Hard 9×9. Starter through Normal can be solved with basic logic alone – “only one number fits in this square” or “this number has only one place left in this row.” Hard calls for more advanced reasoning. There's also a 9×9 Daily Challenge, the same puzzle for everyone on the same day.

Unsure about a square? Turn on Notes and jot down the possible numbers. A wrong entry turns red and uses up one of your 3 chances per puzzle, and you can use up to 3 hints when you're stuck. Your best time for each difficulty is saved in your browser. Every puzzle is generated by the game and checked to have exactly one solution.

How to Play Meow Number Grid

Controls

Phone and tablet

• Tap a square to select it, then tap a number below to fill it in.
• Tools at the bottom: Undo, Erase, Notes on/off and Hint. Top left goes back to difficulty select; top right pauses or mutes.

Computer

• Click squares and numbers with the mouse, or use the keyboard: arrow keys select a square and number keys fill it in.
• N toggles Notes, Backspace erases, Z undoes, H gives a hint.

Tips and Strategy

• Start with rows, columns or boxes that are already mostly filled – their empty squares are the easiest to pin down.
• Pick one number (say 5) and check where it can still go in each box. When only one spot is left, that's the answer.
• Tap a number that's already filled in and every matching number on the board lights up, making gaps easy to spot.
• On Hard, lean on Notes: write down every candidate for each square, then cross out the impossible ones one by one.
