PUPPY YARDSa cozy dog logic puzzle

Cozy dog logic puzzle

One dog per row, column and yard — and no two dogs side by side. Easy to learn, deeply satisfying to solve. 5,000 handcrafted-feel levels, no timers, no pressure.

Welcome to Puppy Yards, where every puppy needs a peaceful spot of its own!

The rule takes ten seconds to learn: place one dog in every row, every column, and every colored yard — but dogs are territorial, so no two of them may touch, not even diagonally. From that single rule grows a puzzle that stretches from cute 4×4 warm-ups to brain-bending 9×9 boards.

Built for one thumb and zero stress: tap once to leave a paw-print note on a cell, tap again to seat a dog. Guess wrong? The dog simply refuses to sit — the cell turns into a paw print, you lose one heart, and your board stays clean. Three hearts per puzzle, and your star rating is whatever you keep. No countdown clock. Ever.

WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL

• CORNER FENCES — a tiny fence on a grid corner lets one diagonal pair of pups be neighbors. A twist that bends the one rule without breaking it.
• MEDDLING CATS — a cat on the board bans dogs from all eight surrounding cells. Route around the fluff.
• BONUS BONES — land a dog exactly on a buried bone for extra points. Fences and bones are scenery as often as they are clues, so real deduction always wins.

PLENTY TO PLAY

• 5,000-level adventure with a silky difficulty curve — cats join at level 101, fences at 201, bones at 301, so you master one idea at a time.
• Daily Puzzle — the same board for everyone worldwide each day; race the clock for your best time.
• A helper squad: the Detective Beagle sniffs out one correct cell, the Police Shepherd rules one cell out, and the Guide Lab quietly blocks one mistake. Refill their treats in the shop or with an optional short ad.
• Leaderboard — climb past a ladder of furry rivals, one score at a time.
• A two-minute guided tutorial that teaches by doing, not by reading.

MADE TO BE COZY

• Warm sticker-style art: cream-outlined pups, cats and bones on a sunny farm, with idle blinks, glances and happy hops.
• A gentle procedurally-composed lullaby soundtrack — and every cue has a visual twin, so the game is fully playable on mute.
• Available in 8 languages: English, 中文, 日本語, 한국어, Français, Español, Deutsch, العربية.
• No account needed. Your progress stays on your device.

Pull up a patch of grass. The dogs are waiting for you to find them a home.
