How to play Binary Puzzle

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. Look at what changes after your first action. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Use the example below to understand a decision.

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

Build a steady rhythm

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.

Your goal

Fill a 6×6 grid with balanced zeroes and ones, no three equal neighbours, and no duplicate rows or columns. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Keep the controls in easy reach.

Step by step

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.

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.

A useful example

A row beginning 0 0 needs 1 next. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Consider the next action carefully.

Watch out for this

Balanced rows may still duplicate each other. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
