Crittermino is a browser Fillomino puzzle that uses animal homes instead of plain numbers: mouse houses occupy two cells, cat three, dog four, panda five and lion six. The puzzle is presented as a single daily board that every player receives, and it can be played without creating an account or installing software.
The daily board changes at midnight UTC. The site also mentions a campaign of levels you can encounter; the daily puzzle may reuse a campaign level but solving the daily does not advance your campaign progress. The game is free and runs in the browser with no ads.
Gameplay relies on Fillomino rules adapted to the animal theme: every cell must belong to a contiguous home of the appropriate size, and two homes of the same size cannot share an edge. The site offers a separate how-to-play page with worked examples for players who want guided instruction.
How to play Crittermino
- Open the daily challenge page in your browser to see the shared daily grid.
- Identify any given animal homes or walls already on the board as starting clues.
- Fill every empty cell so each contiguous region matches an animal size: mouse 2, cat 3, dog 4, panda 5, lion 6.
- Ensure that each home is connected edge to edge and that no two homes of the same size share a wall.
- Use the how-to-play examples on the site for pattern recognition and confirmation of placements.
Tips for Crittermino
- Start from any given animals or walls on the board and expand possible region shapes to match the animal sizes.
- Block placements that would force two regions of the same size to touch; that constraint often eliminates wrong options quickly.
- Work on edges and corners where available space constrains how a home of a particular size can fit.
- When a partial region reaches the required number of cells, mark its border to prevent joining it with an adjacent region of the same size.
Crittermino FAQ
What is Crittermino?
Crittermino is a Fillomino-style daily logic puzzle that uses animal homes of fixed sizes as the regions to place. The puzzles use theme-specific sizes: mouse equals two cells, cat three, dog four, panda five and lion six, and you must partition the grid so each contiguous region matches an animal size.
Is Crittermino free to play?
Yes, Crittermino is free to play in the browser with no account and no ads. The site explicitly states you can play the daily board in your browser without downloads, accounts, or advertising.
When does the new Crittermino puzzle come out?
A new daily Crittermino board becomes available at midnight Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The site notes that the daily board changes at midnight UTC and that every player sees the same board for that day.
Can I play past Crittermino puzzles?
You can encounter the same campaign level again, but completing the daily on your device does not mark campaign progress or permanently clear that level. The site indicates the daily may use a campaign level and that clearing it locally does not advance or mark the campaign level as done.
Does Crittermino work on mobile?
Yes, Crittermino works in the browser, so it is playable on mobile devices that run a modern web browser. The site emphasizes browser play without requiring downloads, which implies compatibility with mobile web usage.
What do the animal clues and walls tell me?
Animal clues indicate the size of the contiguous home you must form: for example a mouse clue means its home must cover exactly two orthogonally connected cells. Walls and preplaced animals act as fixed structure that guide how homes can expand and where same-size homes must not touch.
