The Binary Puzzle playbook

Take a moment with Binary Puzzle before moving to another game. Fill a 6×6 grid with balanced zeroes and ones, no three equal neighbours, and no duplicate rows or columns. Use the example below to understand a decision. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Look at what changes after your first action.

Choose from ten 6×6 puzzles. Undo changes or reveal a selected cell when you need help.

A focus for your next round

Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Make the next step deliberately.

The objective of a round

Fill a 6×6 grid with balanced zeroes and ones, no three equal neighbours, and no duplicate rows or columns. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Keep the controls in easy reach.

Start here and follow along

  1. Select an editable square.
  2. Enter 0 or 1; each line needs three of each.
  3. Avoid three consecutive equal values horizontally or vertically.
  4. Check puzzle validates balance, triples and unique lines.

Getting comfortable with the controls

Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.

Follow the example

A row beginning 0 0 needs 1 next. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the game’s format in mind.

Pay attention to this rule

Balanced rows may still duplicate each other. Check the rule before repeating the action. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
