Futoshiki (from Japanese, literally "not equal"; also known as "Hutoshiki" or "Unequal") is a logic puzzle. It is a board-based number puzzle game. It is playable on a square board having a given fixed size (6x6 for example).
The purpose of the game is to discover the digits hidden inside the board's cells; each cell is filled with a digit between 1 and the board's size. On each row and column each digit appears exactly once; therefore, when revealed, the digits of the board form a so-called Latin square.
At the beginning of the game some digits might be revealed. The board might also contain some inequalities between the board cells; these inequalities must be respected and can be used as clues in order to discover the remaining hidden digits.
Each puzzle is guaranteed to have a solution and only one.
