Challenge the House 与馆对局

Send us a grid that got the better of you.

Any grid, any level. We'll tell you straight away whether it's one for our solvers — or show you the move you missed.

Your grid

Givens only

Pick a cell, then a number. Arrow keys move, 1–9 fill, 0 clears.

The library

Grids people sent in, and what our solvers found. Published rows carry the replay and, where there's one, the written study.

Accepted for the House

This one's going to the House.

Valid grid, one solution — and it doesn't come out with the standard techniques. That's the kind we want.

You'd be Nth in line. Not a wait — a place at the table. Each grid gets a full solve by hand before the next one starts.
Never shown publicly. For our records only.
So we can write back Kept private, never published. Receipts about this grid only.
We'll write to you at every step. Nothing else, ever. Check a different grid
Solved for you, now

You're closer than you think.

This one opens up without heavy machinery. There's a hidden single at R5C5 — that's the cell that unlocks the rest.

Grids that resist the standard techniques go to the House. Send us another if you find one.

Two cells in conflict

Something doesn't add up.

There's no solution to this grid, which almost always means a digit got mistyped on the way in. These cells are in conflict:

A finding · not unique

You found a grid with many answers.

There aren't enough givens to fix a single answer. That's a printing error, not your mistake.

Nothing to fix — send another grid →

We'll write to you at every step.

Nothing else, ever.
