5x5 Futoshiki Puzzles – 4 per Page

Four 5x5 futoshiki grids share each sheet, the size most puzzle pages use. Fill each row and each column with 1 to 5, once each, and respect every sign between neighbouring cells: the open side faces the bigger digit.

Easy sheets add four digits and five signs to the essential clues, medium sheets keep the essential clues only, with at most two given digits, and hard sheets keep the signs alone. Every grid has a single answer, and the book binds all the sheets into one PDF.

Working Through a Sheet of 5x5 Grids

Chains are the key at this size: when two signs point the same way along a row, the three cells run in order, so a 4 or a 5 can never open such a chain and a 1 or a 2 can never close it. Combine that with the places left for a 5 and a 1 in each row, and most grids open within a few moves.

What Changes Between the Levels

The levels differ by their clues, not by their size. Easy grids give a head start of four digits and five signs; medium grids keep only the clues needed for a unique answer; hard grids give no digit, so every deduction starts from a sign.

Why Choose Four Grids per Sheet

Four 5x5 grids fit comfortably on A4 and leave room for small candidates, which makes a sheet a good daily set for a commute or a class. For a single large grid per sheet, the 5x5 Futoshiki page is the one to print.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 5x5 the standard futoshiki size?

It is the one puzzle books use most: big enough for real chains of signs, small enough to finish in one sitting. The 4x4 grids are gentler, the 6x6 and 7x7 longer.

Do the hard grids really have no given digit?

Yes: the hard sheets show signs only. They were checked to have one solution that logic reaches, so the signs always contain everything you need.
