Daily archive

The same date always maps to the same verified puzzle.

Practice

60 exact-unique source boards × deterministic symmetry variants.

Campaign

1–30: 5×5 Starter · 31–60: 7×7 Standard · 61–90: 8×8 Challenge.

Assist & display

Rule guardrails never reveal the stored solution. Hint and Check mark the run Assisted.

Local record

RULE 1

Remove duplicate white numbers

Each visible number can appear only once in every row and column.

RULE 2

Black cells never share an edge

Diagonal contact is fine. Horizontal and vertical black neighbors are not.

RULE 3

White cells stay connected

Every unshaded cell must remain in one orthogonally connected region.

MARKING

Black means remove · circle means keep

Use explicit Shade and Keep tools, or long-press/right-click to mark a cell as definitely white.

HINTS

Reason first, exact continuation second

Hints prefer named deductions, then use current-state exact logic to find a forced next cell.

LOCAL-FIRST

Autosave, streaks and best times stay on device

No account is required. Leaving the tab pauses time automatically and preserves the board.
