League of Legends Grid
Fill nine cells with League of Legends champions who match both the row and the column. The rarer your picks, the more the board pays. A new grid every day.
Game points you can earn
- A solve, more for fewer failed locks
- A board you finish without solving
- A daily streak, with an account
Your lifetime GP is your rank, Rookie to Demon King. Without an account it is kept in this browser.
How to play
Three criteria down the side, three across the top. Every cell wants a champion who satisfies both of its lines.
An example board, part played
- Ahri is from Ionia and she is a Mage, so she holds that crossing: locked, and locked cells stay
- Draven is only drafted. Nothing is judged until you lock in, and a draft costs you nothing
- Two cells are still open. The ringed one is where the next name goes; it wants a champion from Noxus who is a Support
- A champion is spent once you use them: nine cells, nine names
- Lock in when all nine are filled: right placements fill for good, and wrong ones open up again
- Three failed locks end the round, and then every cell shows who would have fit
One grid a day, the same nine cells for everyone. A new one at midnight, Sydney time.
Game points and ranks
A solve pays GP by how few locks it took, and a rare board pays a bonus once the day closes. Your lifetime GP is your rank, Rookie to Demon King.
Every figure, the streak bonus and the ladder are on the full rules.

Frequently asked questions
How do you play the League of Legends Grid?
Three criteria run down the side of the board and three across the top, and each of the nine cells wants a champion who satisfies both of its lines. Draft a champion into every cell, then lock the board in: right placements fill for good, wrong ones open up again, and three failed locks end the round. Everyone plays the same nine cells each day.
What can a criterion be?
A trait the whole roster carries: a home region such as Ionia or the Void, a class from Riot’s own tags such as Mage or Tank, a lane the champion is played in, melee or ranged, whether they use mana, and whether they are a yordle. The Criteria tab lists every one a board can draw, and the champion roster on the Data tab lists every trait each champion holds.
Can I use the same champion twice?
No. A champion is spent once you place them, so a board of nine cells takes nine different champions.
Is there more than one right answer per cell?
Always. Every cell holds at least three champions who fit it, and a broad one can hold more than thirty. Which one you reach for is what separates two boards that both filled all nine, because the rarer your picks, the more the board pays.
What is the pick rate?
Once your round is over, every filled cell shows the share of players who filled it with the same champion. Average your nine and that is your board’s pick rate. Lower is rarer, and with an account a rarer board earns bonus GP when the day closes. The bonus settles overnight because it is worked out from everyone’s picks, and people are still playing until then.
What are game points and ranks?
GP (game points) is your lifetime score. A solve pays more the fewer locks it took, a day you finish without solving still pays a little, and with an account a daily streak adds a bonus on top. Your GP total decides your rank, from Rookie to Demon King, and it never goes down.
When does the grid reset?
Every day at midnight, Sydney time. A round in progress is kept on the server, so you can close the tab and come back to it, or start on a phone and finish on a laptop.
Do I need an account?
Not to play. Without one, your record is kept in this browser only: only signed in players appear on the leaderboard or have their progress saved. An account puts you on it under your own name and keeps your record on any device you sign in on. Make one the day you play and that round comes with it; rounds from earlier days stay in the browser.
