Puckdoku

🎯 What is Puckdoku?

Puckdoku is the daily NHL grid puzzle from puckdoku.com, run in partnership with PuckPedia. Each day the puzzle drops a 3×3 grid where each cell has two criteria — usually a team and a stat threshold (jersey number, draft year, position, nationality) — and asks you to fill in an NHL player who matches both.

The format mirrors Immaculate Grid but for hockey. The pool covers the entire NHL — current rosters, recent retirees, and Hall of Famers — and a new grid drops at the daily reset. Wrong guesses don't cost you attempts, but they don't fill cells either.

💡 How to Play Puckdoku

Open puckdoku.com to see today's 3×3 grid of NHL clues.
Read the row and column clues for each cell. Each cell has two criteria — usually a team and a stat threshold (jersey number, draft year, position).
Type an NHL player's name into any cell. Puckdoku accepts active and recent retired players across NHL history.
Submit your guess. If the player matches both criteria, the cell fills in green; correct guesses that also match other cells fill those in too.
Wrong guesses don't cost you attempts, but they don't fill cells either. Use process of elimination — once you know eight of the nine, the last one usually falls into place.
Solve as many cells as possible. A Teammates Explorer is available if you want to practice the format, and an ad-free Patreon tier removes ads and unlocks extra stats.
