Math logic puzzles are both fun, educational and very entertaining. The purpose of this website is to disclose some of the famous puzzles and go over the strategies used to solve these puzzles.

KenKen® Puzzles are fun, mathematical and logical in nature and a puzzle somewhat similar to Sudoku in terms of using numbers, boxes and logic to solve. The word Ken in Japanese means wise, very appropriately named.

KenKen® Puzzles are solved by using one of the four main mathematical functions of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to combine for the number in the top left corner. You can start the puzzle anywhere, as there is no best place to start but always fill in the freebies first. As with most puzzles, one of the key strategy to use is the scientific process of trial and error.

KenKen® was invented by a Japanese mathematics teacher Tetsuya Miyamoto with the intention of entertainment and improve your math skills at the same time. KenKen® puzzles are a trademark of Nextoy, LLC. discovered in Japan and published by educational publisher Gakken Co., Ltd.

Do not repeat a number in any row or column. The numbers in each heavily outlined set of squares, called cages, must combine (in any order) to produce the target number in the top corner of the cage using the mathematical operation indicated. Cages with just one box should be filled in with the target number in the top corner. A number can be repeated within a cage as long as it is not in the same row or column.
