About the Thursday, 3 September 2026 puzzle
This is the medium 5×5 Quilt board published on Thursday, 3 September 2026: a 5×5 grid divided into 11 cages, 1 of which is a single cell that hands you its value 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.
