Futoshiki Gameplay

Strategy

Start with the biggest inequalities. They lock down the highest and lowest numbers fast. Scan each row for a missing digit, then check the adjacent signs. Use notes mode to pencil in possibilities – it’s cheaper than a full‑blown guess. When you hit a dead end, backtrack one step and try the alternative. The difficulty ramps up as you clear more grids, so keep sharpening those deduction skills.
