FIND YOUR NEXT PUZZLE

Logic Puzzle Games

A good grid puzzle gives you a reason for your next move. Place cats by elimination, count the cells along a yarn path, or plan a route through numbered checkpoints. These three games look cozy, but each asks you to reason in a different way.

How these puzzles differ

Prefer elimination? Place the cats.

Pawdoku asks for one cat in each row, column and colored region. Cats cannot touch, even diagonally. A placed cat rules out nearby squares, so you can work forward by marking what is impossible. It is a placement puzzle, rather than classic number Sudoku.

Prefer counting? Follow the yarn.

Yarn Kitty uses numbers beside the grid to show how many cells the path occupies in each row and column. Connect the yarn ball to the basket with one continuous route. A row that has reached its count gives you useful information about every remaining square in that row.

Prefer planning a route? Follow the mouse.

Mouse Path uses numbers inside the grid as checkpoints. Visit them in order and cover every open square without crossing your route. Unlike Yarn Kitty, these numbers tell you where to go next, rather than how many squares to use. Watch for corners you might cut off.

Before you start

Which logic puzzle should I try first?

Choose Pawdoku if you enjoy ruling out squares, Yarn Kitty if you like row and column clues, or Mouse Path if you like drawing a route. The browser demos include the games’ introductory guidance; the separate challenge links open harder boards directly.

Are these full free online games?

These are free, ad-free browser demos with a defined endpoint. Yarn Kitty includes its tutorial and 15 puzzles; Pawdoku includes an interactive tutorial and three boards; Mouse Path includes the first five puzzles. Each game also has a separate challenge. Download links appear only for apps already available.

Can I play without installing an app?

Yes. Choose a game and press its play button to load the demo in a current Safari or Chrome browser. The demos are in English. Progress stays in that browser and does not transfer to an app.

What should I do if I get stuck?

Start by checking one rule at a time. In Pawdoku, look for a row or colored region with only one possible cat square. In Yarn Kitty, check rows whose counts are already met. In Mouse Path, look for a square that would become unreachable. The games also include their own guidance and hints.
