How today’s board is solved
Step by step, with no guessing. Every move below follows from the ones above it.
This board needs 26 deduced moves: 15 × no-three-in-a-row, 9 × line balance and 2 × contradiction.
Careful: this is the full reasoning. Play first if you would rather work it out yourself.
- A2 — the two cells before it are suns, and three in a row is not allowed, so it has to be a moon
- C2 — the two cells before it are moons, and three in a row is not allowed, so it has to be a sun
- A5 — the two cells before it are suns, and three in a row is not allowed, so it has to be a moon
- C5 — the two cells before it are moons, and three in a row is not allowed, so it has to be a sun
- D5 — the two cells before it are suns, and three in a row is not allowed, so it has to be a moon
- F5 — that line already holds all the suns it can take, so the rest are moons
- F4 — the two cells before it are moons, and three in a row is not allowed, so it has to be a sun
- A1 — putting a sun there breaks the board a few moves later, so it is a moon
- A6 — that line already holds all the moons it can take, so the rest are suns
- B1 — putting a sun there breaks the board a few moves later, so it is a moon
- C1 — the two cells before it are moons, and three in a row is not allowed, so it has to be a sun
- E1 — the two cells before it are suns, and three in a row is not allowed, so it has to be a moon
The remaining 14 moves follow the same way.
Three simple rules
- No three in a rowNever three suns or three moons in a line, across or down.
- BalanceEvery row and column holds the same number of suns and moons.
- Connectors (= and ×)Later puzzles add clues between cells — same or different.
