Many individuals have become hooked and addicted to the challenge it brings. The popular puzzle game has now made its way onto the pages of many national newspapers and various publications. However, these fiendish puzzles better watch out, because there’s a new brainteaser that is slowly gaining approval in the puzzle solving community.

Futoshiki, also called Hutoshiki, is a number logic puzzle game from Japan that is gradually becoming more likeable than the game sudoku. It is similar to sudoku because you have to place a set of numbers in a particular order so that each row and column contains the numbers once. But what makes futoshiki slightly different is not only the removal of the 3X3 box constraint seen in general sudoku, but the addition of greater than or less than signs that affects the number placement in each of the cells.

Futoshiki which means “not equal”, may appear to be straightforward and easy to solve, but just like in most sudoku puzzles, we can not be deceived by appearances.
