How it works
- 1Fill the nine cellsTap a cell and search for your answer. It must match both its row and its column criteria, and each answer can only be used once.
- 2Three livesA wrong answer costs a life. Out of lives, the game ends, but the cells you found still count.
- 3Come back tomorrowOne game per universe per day. Playing every day grows your streak.
How points work
The rarer your answer among players, the more it scores. An answer nobody thinks of is worth far more than the obvious one. Mistakes cost a few points, and finishing fast earns a small bonus.
See the full rules →Metrodoku London takes the Doku idea to the 272 stations of the Underground. Nine cells, one criterion per row and per column, and at every intersection a station that satisfies both. Northern line crossed with Zone 1: Angel works, Morden doesn't.
One grid a day, the same for everyone, three lives, a rarity score and a leaderboard. Free play generates unlimited grids, from easy to expert.
