Binary Puzzle: how a round works

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. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

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

Take a closer look while playing

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

What you are aiming for

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.

Making selections and moves

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. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.

Try this example

A row beginning 0 0 needs 1 next. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Consider the next action carefully.

Where a round can go wrong

Balanced rows may still duplicate each other. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
