Binary Puzzle: rules and examples

Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Binary Puzzle. 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.

An idea for your next attempt

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Keep the objective visible.

Your objective

Fill a 6×6 grid with balanced zeroes and ones, no three equal neighbours, and no duplicate rows or columns. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

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.

Using the playing area

Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Look at the feedback after the action.

Try this example

A row beginning 0 0 needs 1 next. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Read the matching step again.

Watch out for this

Balanced rows may still duplicate each other. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
