Binary Puzzle: instructions and practice
Bring your attention to one round of Binary Puzzle. Fill a 6×6 grid with balanced zeroes and ones, no three equal neighbours, and no duplicate rows or columns. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Read the objective before making your first input. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Choose from ten 6×6 puzzles. Undo changes or reveal a selected cell when you need help.
Practice beyond the first move
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Aim for this result
Fill a 6×6 grid with balanced zeroes and ones, no three equal neighbours, and no duplicate rows or columns. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.
The steps to play
- Select an editable square.
- Enter 0 or 1; each line needs three of each.
- Avoid three consecutive equal values horizontally or vertically.
- Check puzzle validates balance, triples and unique lines.
Choosing and moving on screen
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
An example to follow
A row beginning 0 0 needs 1 next. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Check the stated objective.
A common point of confusion
Balanced rows may still duplicate each other. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
