Mainarizumu

Mainarizumu is a type of logic puzzle published by Nikoli

Rules

Mainarizumu (マイナリズム) is played on a square grid, typically 7x7 or smaller, with two kinds of clues: (a) a greater-than or less-than sign connecting two adjacent squares, or (b) a circled digit connecting two adjacent squares. The solver is to enter a digit, between one and the grid width/height, into every square such that

  • No digit is repeated in any row or column (much like in Sudoku puzzles).
  • If two squares are connected by a greater-than or less-than sign, then the digits in those squares must obey that inequality.
  • If two squares are connected by a circled digit, then the digits in those squares must differ by exactly that amount.
