About the Thursday, 12 March 2026 puzzle
This is the medium 5×5 Quilt board published on Thursday, 12 March 2026: a 5×5 grid divided into 12 cages, 3 of which are single cells that hand you their values outright. Fill every row and column with the numbers 1 to 5 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.
