Pawdoku: Hard Logic Puzzles

Meet Pawdoku, a dog puzzle game where cute puppies meet clever logic. Find the right home for every dog across 1,000 original puzzles, with colorful regions, a soft dark theme and a friendly puppy mascot.

One puzzle. A little peace.

✨ Three simple rules, plenty to discover

• Place exactly one dog in every row.
• Place exactly one dog in every column.
• Place exactly one dog in every colored region.
• Keep dogs apart: they cannot touch, even diagonally.

There are no numbers to fill in. Read the grid, rule out impossible squares and connect the clues until every puppy has a place. If you enjoy Sudoku-style deduction, logic brain teasers or spatial reasoning puzzles, Pawdoku gives you a playful way to explore those ideas.

⭐ 1,000 puzzles to explore

• Start with approachable opening levels that introduce the rules.
• Progress through layouts that ask you to connect more clues and think further ahead.
• Discover boards from 6x6 to 12x12, with harder challenges woven into the journey.
• Solve original puzzles with one unique solution per board.
• Practice spotting how rows, columns and regions affect each other. From a single obvious placement to a chain of careful deductions, each board gives you a new set of clues to follow.

The challenge comes from the arrangement of the colored regions as well as the size of the grid. A square that seems right at first might block a puppy somewhere else. Look across the board, compare the possibilities and let one deduction lead you to the next.

✅ Make every move your own

• Tap a square to mark it with a cross.
• Double-tap a chosen square to place a puppy.
• Use crosses to track positions you have ruled out.
• Place a dog without automatically filling the surrounding squares with crosses.
• Watch your score rise with each correct placement.

You stay in control of the solving process. Follow your own reasoning, take another look at a tricky region and enjoy the moment when the right position becomes clear. Expressive puppy animations and small celebrations make each discovery feel cheerful.

✨ Helpful tools for tricky moments

• Hint points you toward a useful position when you need a nudge.
• Reveal places a puppy so you can move forward.
• Visible counters show how many Hint and Reveal uses remain.
• Switch Marks on to add or clear crosses without placing a dog.
• Hold the Marks button to undo a marking change.

Use a little help when you want it, or work through the board on your own. Marks give you a simple way to organize your deductions while you compare possible placements and search for your next safe move.

⭐ A thoughtful challenge at your pace

• Three dog-biscuit lives keep track of mistakes during an attempt.
• An already rejected square will not take another life if you accidentally try it again.
• The timer tracks your attempt without turning it into a countdown.
• Play a quick puzzle during a break or settle into a longer session.

✅ A clear, cozy puzzle board

• Enjoy a soft charcoal theme, rounded tiles and readable text.
• Keep your score, remaining dogs and lives close at hand.
• Turn on optional dog-themed patterns for extra visual cues in colored regions.
• Spot subtle paw prints, bones, collars, food bowls and other puppy details.
• Keep the tiles plain when you prefer a simpler look.
• Adjust animation and vibration settings to suit your preferences.
