🎯 Objective
Fill every cell with a number from 1 to N (where N is the grid size) so that each number appears exactly once in every row and every column — and every inequality sign between adjacent cells is satisfied.
📏 The Two Rules
- Latin Square: Every row and every column must contain each number from 1 to N exactly once — just like Sudoku rows and columns.
- Inequality Signs: Where you see a < or > between two cells, the values in those cells must satisfy that relationship. For example, if you see
A < B, then A must be smaller than B.
🕹 Controls
- Tap / click a white cell to select it (it glows gold).
- Then tap a number key on the keypad below the grid to place it.
- Tap the ✕ key to clear a cell.
- Alternatively, type on your keyboard after selecting a cell.
- Darker cells are given clues and cannot be changed.
🔴 Error Highlighting
Cells that break the Latin square rule or violate an inequality turn red instantly. Fix them before you can win.

💡 Tips
- An inequality directly gives you a bound —
_ < 2 means that cell must be 1.
- Chain inequalities:
A < B < C means A ≤ N−2, B is middle, C ≥ 3.
- Fill in cells forced by row/column elimination first, then use inequalities to break ties.
- On larger grids, pencil in candidates mentally before committing.
