How the puzzle works

Each row and column must contain equal numbers of suns and moons, and three matching symbols cannot appear consecutively. A small equals clue marks neighboring cells that match; a cross marks a pair that differs. Players can choose 4×4, 6×6, 8×8, or 10×10 boards and an Easy, Medium, or Hard setting.

How practice puzzles are made

The generator starts with a complete grid that satisfies the balance and no-three-in-a-row rules. It derives equality and difference clues from neighboring cells, selects starting cells, and searches for solutions. If more than one completion is found, it adds a distinguishing given cell and searches again. A candidate is returned when the search verifies a unique completion. Pre-generated fallback boards are available for the 4×4 and 6×6 sizes; larger boards rely on generation.

The Daily button uses the calendar date to select a repeatable daily challenge. The date also determines that day's size and difficulty, so players using the same date receive the same board.

Hints and puzzle analysis

A hint highlights a cell and explains a rule-based deduction. Depending on the current board, that explanation can use line balance, a three-in-a-row pattern, an equals or cross clue, or a longer chain of consequences. Puzzle DNA summarizes the techniques the game's solver detects; it is an in-game analysis, not a certification or a guarantee about how every player will experience difficulty.

Browser storage and independence

The game saves the current board and player statistics in your browser so you can resume and review them. It does not require an account or sync that information to a player profile. Details about local storage and the site's current analytics and advertising setup are in the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.
