Bulldoku solving techniques

Every Bulldoku level in the campaign is solvable by logic only — no guessing. These are the techniques the built-in solver uses.

Naked single

When a row, column, or region has only one cell that can still hold a pup, place it immediately. This opens most easy levels.

Region confinement

If all cells of a color lie in one row (or column), no other region may use that line. Mark X on foreign cells in that row/column.

Line reservation

When N regions’ remaining candidates occupy exactly N rows (or columns), those lines are reserved — eliminate candidates elsewhere on those lines.

Assumption / elimination

On harder boards, trial placement shows that some cell would orphan a region. Mark X instead of guessing.

FAQ

Where to practice?
Try walkthroughs for Level 1 through Level 30 — each step names the technique used.
When to use hints?
Hints place one correct pup. Use them after you tried crosses and singles.
