How to play Cats & Dogs

  • 1Put a 🐱 or a 🐶 in every square.
  • 2No more than two of the same animal side by side, across or down.
  • 3Every row and every column holds three cats and three dogs.
  • 4An = between two squares means the same animal; a × means different ones.

Tap a square once for a cat, twice for a dog, a third time to clear it. The grey squares are given and stay put. Every board has one answer you can reach by logic alone, so you never need to guess.

Grids like this are known as binary puzzles, also called Takuzu or Binairo. Tango and Cats & Dogs add the = and × signs.

Three moves that open every board

Two alike side by side: the squares at both ends must be the other animal. A gap between two alike: the middle square must be the other animal. A full half: once a row has three cats, the rest of it is dogs. Follow the signs as you go, and the board fills itself in.

Try it

A small 4×4 board: two of each animal in every line. Tap the white squares.

Cats & Dogs FAQ

What is Cats & Dogs?

Cats & Dogs is a daily logic puzzle on a 6×6 grid. Fill every square with a cat or a dog so that no three of the same animal sit next to each other in a row or column, and every row and column ends up with three cats and three dogs. Some edges carry signs: = means the two squares hold the same animal, × means they hold different ones.

Is Cats & Dogs like LinkedIn Tango?

Yes. It follows the same rules as Tango, with cats and dogs in place of suns and moons. We are not affiliated with LinkedIn, and every board here is our own original. You get three new boards a day, easy, medium and hard, and every past board stays playable.

Do I ever need to guess?

No. Every board has exactly one answer, and our solver checks that it can be reached by logic alone before the board goes live. When you are stuck, Hint shows the next logical step and says why it works.

Is it free?

Yes. All three daily boards, the archive and Endless mode are free in your browser, with no app and no account. A free account keeps your streak and times across devices.

Is there an unlimited version of Tango?

LinkedIn gives you one Tango a day. Cats & Dogs Endless plays by the same rules and deals a fresh board every time you finish one, at easy, medium or hard, for as long as you like. It is free and needs no account.

How do I play more than three a day?

Open Endless for as many fresh boards as you like at your chosen level, or pick any past day from the archive.
