Easy Hidato
Easy Hidato puzzles are 5×5. Each missing number has a single cell that touches both the number before it and the number after it.
Next: 2
Easy puzzles need at least one of these techniques, and may use any easier one:
- Only one place
- Next to the numbers around it, only this cell is left for the number.
How to play
Hidato is a number path puzzle. Fill every empty cell so the numbers from 1 to the last form one chain: each number touches the next one horizontally, vertically or diagonally. Some numbers, including the first and the last, are given.
Every Hidato here has exactly one solution and can be solved by logic alone. The grid grows from 5×5 at Easy to 7×7 at Hard, and the level is set by the hardest technique the puzzle needs.
- Each number from 1 to the last appears once.
- Consecutive numbers touch, side by side or diagonally.
- The given numbers cannot be changed.
