A 4 × 4 grid uses 1–4, a 5 × 5 grid 1–5 and a 7 × 7 grid 1–7. No digit repeats in a row or column.

A sign between two squares points to the smaller digit: 2 < 3 and 4 > 1. Signs between rows read from top to bottom.

A few digits are given and cannot change.

Every grid has exactly one solution. Repeated digits and broken signs are marked.

Notes record candidates; placing a digit removes it from the notes of its row and column. Hint reveals the selected square, or the first empty or wrong one.

Daily grids are the same for everyone at each size on a UTC day.

How to play

Goal. Fill the grid so every row and column holds each digit once and every sign between neighbouring squares is true.

Signs

A 4 × 4 grid uses 1–4, a 5 × 5 grid 1–5 and a 7 × 7 grid 1–7, each once per row and column.
Each sign points to the smaller digit. ∧ and ∨ between rows read from top to bottom: ∧ means the upper square is smaller.
A few digits may be given. A chain of signs limits a square: below three smaller squares, it is at least 4.

A solved row. The row 1 < 3 < 4 > 2 holds every sign, and each digit appears once.
