Help, tips, and answers to common questions.

How do I play?

Place one dog in every row, every column, and every colored yard. Two dogs may never touch, not even at a corner. Every board has a single solution you can reach by logic, so you never need to guess.

What are the controls?

Hold a square to place a dog. Tap a square to leave a paw mark on a spot you have ruled out. Tap a placed dog to pick it back up. A wrong placement costs a heart; marking and removing are always free.

What do the paw marks do?

A paw mark flags a square as "no dog here," and a marked square will not accept a dog until you clear it. With auto-marking on, the squares ruled out by a dog you place are marked for you automatically.

How do hints work?

A hint highlights a square that must hold a dog and explains the reason. You get three hints on each board.

Is there a daily puzzle?

Yes. The Daily Challenge is the same board for everyone each day. You will find it at the top of the Levels screen.

How is my progress saved?

Progress is saved automatically on your device. There are no accounts and nothing is uploaded.

How do I reset my progress?

Open Settings and choose Reset progress. This erases your levels, stars, and best times on this device.

The sound is not playing

Tap the screen once to start audio (browsers and some devices only begin sound after a tap), and make sure the Sound pad is on.
