Create Math Puzzles That Build Logic AND Arithmetic Skills
Tired of puzzles that only exercise one side of the brain? CalcuDoku puzzles give you the perfect blend of Sudoku-style logic and real arithmetic challenges—creating brain-training content that educators love and puzzle fans can’t put down.
Transform simple grid sizes and difficulty settings into professional math logic puzzles that strengthen reasoning and calculation skills—creating complete puzzle books in minutes, not hours.
Why CalcuDoku Puzzles Stand Out
Most math puzzles fall into two camps:
Pure calculation (boring arithmetic drills) or pure logic (Sudoku clones).
They both have their place—but neither combines both skills in one satisfying challenge.
CalcuDoku puzzles are different.
They combine:
- Dual-brain engagement – Logic deduction PLUS arithmetic calculation
- Progressive difficulty – From 3×3 beginner grids to 9×9 expert challenges
- Mathematical credibility – Based on Latin squares (real math theory)
- Educational value – Teachers use them to strengthen mental math
- Unique every time – Infinite variations from one elegant format
The result? Puzzles that feel like a genuine mental workout for solvers—and look professional and pedagogically sound for creators.
How Puzzle Creators Use CalcuDoku
KDP Publishers & Activity Book Creators

- Create themed collections (Multiplication Only, Addition & Subtraction, Full Operations)
- Offer something that bridges education and entertainment
