About the Thursday, 29 January 2026 puzzle
This is the easy 4×4 Quilt board published on Thursday, 29 January 2026: a 4×4 grid divided into 7 cages, 1 of which is a single cell that hands you its value outright. Fill every row and column with the numbers 1 to 4 without repeating one, so that each cage reaches its target. It is a KenKen-style math and logic puzzle — the genre also known as calcudoku or mathdoku — and like every Quilt board it is solvable by deduction alone, with no guessing required.
