A daily vending machine restock logic puzzle
Jihanki is a daily logic puzzle from Puzzmallow themed around Japanese vending machines. Players restock a machine by placing every product from a crate into bays so that the finished grid satisfies all placement rules — each brand and each product type must appear exactly once per row and column, plus daily-changing extra rules. Every puzzle has a single solution reachable by logic alone, with a Mini (3x3) mode for beginners and a Classic (4x4) daily challenge.
Every product pairs a brand with a type; each pairing appears exactly once, and each brand and each type must appear once in every row and column.
Beyond the two fixed rules, additional clues change each day, some relating to price labels in the bays (e.g. adjacency or price-range constraints).
Mini is a quick and easy 3x3 puzzle for a first game; Classic is a more challenging 4x4 daily puzzle.
Cross out or highlight icons in each bay to track deductions (highlighting one crosses out the rest of its group), plus undo, reset, and crate sorting by brand or product type.
Every puzzle has exactly one solution that is reachable by logic alone, with no guessing required.
Toggle the timer to track solve time; the site offers play stats and logged-in accounts for returning players.
Each daily puzzle includes fixed rules (each brand and type appears once per row and column) plus extra daily rules, some based on price labels and adjacency.
Tap a product in the restock crate to pick it up, then tap an empty bay to load it; tap a loaded bay to return it to the crate. Pre-stocked bays cannot be emptied.
Use the placement rules and deduction tools (cross-outs, highlights, undo, reset) to narrow down placements until every pairing is placed correctly.
It's a daily logic puzzle where you restock a vending-machine grid so each brand and each product type appears exactly once per row and column, with extra daily rules (including price-label-based clues) that must all hold.
Tap a product in the restock crate to pick it up, then tap an empty bay to load it. Tap a loaded bay to return it to the crate. Pre-stocked bays cannot be returned.
Yes. Mini is a quick and easy 3x3 puzzle recommended for your first game, while Classic is a more challenging 4x4.
No. Every puzzle has a single solution that is reachable by logic alone.
You can cross out or highlight icons in bays to track deductions, use undo to reverse your last action, reset the whole board, and toggle the crate between sorting by brand and product type.
Adjacent means directly above, below, left, or right — not diagonal. A rule like 'Every X is adjacent to one of the Y' only requires each X to touch at least one Y, and one Y may count for several X's.
Yes. A timer can be toggled on to keep track of your solve time.
