⚫ Binary (Takuzu)
Binary, also known as Takuzu or Binairo, is a pure logic grid puzzle. Fill every cell with 0 or 1 under three simple rules.
How to play
- Each row and column has equal numbers of 0s and 1s.
- Never more than two of the same digit in a row, in any direction.
- No two rows — and no two columns — may be identical.
Strategy tips
- Never three in a row: a pair of matching digits means both neighbours must flip — scan for pairs first.
- Equal counts: once a row has its full quota of 0s, every remaining blank is a 1.
- The no-duplicate-lines rule finishes puzzles — compare nearly-complete rows and columns.
