Gridlings

How to play

• Fill the grid so every row and column contains each animal exactly once and each color exactly once.
• Every animal–color pair appears exactly once in the whole grid.
• The same animal never touches itself — not even diagonally.
• Every Gridlings board has exactly one solution, and you never have to guess: there is always a next cell you can prove. That's checked by machine before a puzzle is published.

If you enjoy daily logic games like LinkedIn's Queens or Tango, this is the same kind of pure-deduction habit — with a double constraint that makes each board a tighter knot. New puzzle at 00:00 UTC.

One habit, eleven puzzles

A new board in every game at 00:00 UTC — each machine-verified to have exactly one solution you can reach by pure logic.

FAQ

How do you play Gridlings?

Fill the grid so every row and column contains each animal once and each color once, every animal-color pair appears exactly once, and the same animal never touches itself, even diagonally. Tap a cell, then pick an animal-color pair from the palette.

Is there a new Gridlings puzzle every day?

Yes — a new daily board goes live at 00:00 UTC, the same board for every player worldwide, with streak tracking. Unlimited free play in three difficulties and a full archive of past dailies are also free, with no account and no ads.

Can Gridlings be solved without guessing?

Yes. Every published board is machine-verified before release: a solver proves exactly one solution exists and is reachable by logical deduction, so there is always a provable next step.
