KenKen or KenDoku puzzle game with JavaScript only.
Puzzle sites that provide KenKen (including the official site) runs with annoying ads and requires Flash, which sucks. Even the smartphone app versions require credential information, which shouldn't be really necessary for such simple puzzle game.
So I decided to create a very lightweight clone of the game entirely written with JavaScript.
Try it now on your browser!

Here is a list of outstanding features compared to the official site and other reproductions on the web.
- It's very lightweight. You should be able to play with a smartphone.
- Entirely run on the browser, yet you can save the progress on the browser's local storage.
- Saved progress is only stored on the same browser, but you can copy a game state string to the clipboard and paste in another browser to continue on it.
- Does not use Flash player, which can make your browser super slow for no reason (I'm looking at you, official site).
- It can generate as many problems as you want with random number generator.
- Ensures the problem is really solvable before showing to the player.
- 'Memo' functionality enables you to assign answer candidates to each cell.
- Can change size of the board up to 9x9. Be aware that 9x9 can take some time to generate in slow computers.
