Printable takuzu
Takuzu grids in PDF, from 6 × 6 to get started to 10 × 10. One solution per grid, found by deduction without guessing; the solutions are at the end. Fill the grid with circles and squares: never three identical symbols in a row, and as many circles as squares in every row and column.
How it works
Pick the difficulty
Easy gives a 6 × 6 grid with many clues, medium an 8 × 8, hard a 10 × 10 with few starting clues.
Set up the booklet
Choose the number of grids, A4 or Letter paper, and whether solutions are added. Four grids fit on a page, with cells of at least 7 mm.
Print and play
Fill the cells in pencil. Every grid is solved by deduction: look first for pairs of identical symbols, which force their neighbours.
Printing tips
Choose “Actual size” or “100%” in the print dialog, not “Fit to page”, to keep cells big enough to draw a circle or a square. Black and white is enough: clues are black, the answers on the solution pages are grey. Draw the symbols in pencil and erase if you slip. For a class or a club, print the solution pages on a separate sheet and keep it.
Frequently asked questions
What are the rules of takuzu?
Every cell holds a circle or a square (a 0 or a 1). There must never be three identical symbols side by side, in a row or in a column. Every row and column holds as many circles as squares, and no two rows, or two columns, are identical.
Does each grid have a single solution?
Yes. Every grid is checked before layout: exactly one solution exists, and it is found by deduction. No guessing needed.
Can I use them in class or in a club?
Yes, freely, including printing them in quantity. Only reselling the files is not allowed.
Are my settings saved?
On your device only, so you get the same difficulty next time. Nothing is sent to a server.
