Follow these easy rules and get hooked in minutes:
1. Fill the grid with digits - 1 through 4 for a 4x4 grid, 1 through 5 for a 5x5, etc.
2. Every digit may only occur once per row and column.
3. The grid is also divided into cells - the numbers of each cell must produce a certain “target” number when combined using a specified mathematical operation (either addition, subtraction, multiplication or division).

Every grid of yukendo has at least one solution.

yukendo is free and offers many hours of fun. However, if you are an advanced player and want to get the full experience, get yukendo pro!
