About the Saturday, 22 August 2026 puzzle
This is the easy 4×4 Quilt board published on Saturday, 22 August 2026: a 4×4 grid divided into 9 cages, 3 of which are single cells that hand you their values 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.
