Fill the grid while obeying every inequality.

How to play More or Less

  • Fill an N×N grid with the numbers 1 to N.
  • Every number appears once in each row and once in each column.
  • The pointed end of < or > faces the smaller number.
  • Tap a cell, then a number. Broken rows, columns or signs turn red.

Your first useful move

Follow a chain of inequality signs. Every step needs a strictly larger or smaller number, which limits what can appear at either end before you fill anything.
