Critter Crowns

10,000 levels, from tiny 4×4 boards to brain-bending 12×12s. One critter per row, column and color patch, and no two may touch. Can you crown them all?

Crown a critter in every kingdom.

Critter Crowns is a cosy logic puzzle built on one simple rule: place exactly one critter in every row, every column, and every coloured region. No timers pushing you. No guessing. Every puzzle has one solution, and pure deduction will always find it.

Start with a gentle 4x4 board. Work your way up to 12x12 grids that will make you sit back and think.

HOW IT WORKS

Each board is split into coloured regions. Place one critter per row, one per column, and one per region - and no two critters may touch, not even diagonally. Tap a square to mark it with a paw print and rule it out. Double-tap to place a critter.

That's the whole rule set. Learning it takes ten seconds. Mastering it takes a good while longer.

HINTS THAT TEACH

Stuck? Hints here don't just hand you the answer. Each one names the technique it used - "this row has only one spot left" - and shows you where to look, so you spot the same pattern yourself next time. You finish the puzzle having learned something.

Undo any move. Reset the board. Nothing is ever lost.
