The daily puzzle

Nine cells, two criteria each, one grid a day.

Every cell crosses its row criterion with its column criterion: find an answer that matches both. The rarer your answer among players, the more points it scores.

The 321 stations of the Paris métro

Example gridMetrodoku Paris
One-word name
Opened before 1910
Serves at least 3 lines
On line1
Nation+41
Gare de Lyon+26
Châtelet+18
On line4
Odéon+63
On line6
Bercy+77
Nation is on line 1 and its name is a single word: it matches both criteria of its cell. A station can only be used once.

How it works

  1. 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.
  2. 2Three livesA wrong answer costs a life. Out of lives, the game ends, but the cells you found still count.
  3. 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.

Metrodoku Paris is the original Doku edition: the 321 stations of the Paris Métro, and a nine-cell grid to fill every day. Every row and every column carries a criterion, and the cell where they meet wants a station that satisfies both. Line 6 crossed with Terminus: Nation works, Bercy doesn't.

Today's grid is the same for every player. Three lives, a score that rewards rare stations, a daily leaderboard and a free play mode to practise on unlimited grids.

What the grid asks for

The sixteen lines of the Paris Métro and RER interchanges, terminus stations, arrondissements, left bank or right bank, stations inside or outside Paris, automatic lines, elevated stations, nearby landmarks, the saints, battles, women and foreign places the stations are named after, the opening era, plus the first letter and the number of words.

Frequently asked questions

Which stations are on the list?
The 321 stations of the sixteen Paris Métro lines. RER and tram interchanges are used as criteria, but only Métro stations are answers.
Does a station on the Paris boundary count as inside Paris?
Yes, both ways. A station sitting on the boundary is accepted for "inside Paris" as well as for "outside Paris".
Is Metrodoku Paris free?
Yes. Today's grid and free play are free to play in the browser, no account required. The Doku app is also available on iPhone and Android, with the same grids and the same progress.
