Binary Puzzle: rules and examples
Try Binary Puzzle at your own pace and keep its objective in view. 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. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. 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
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Keep the objective visible.
What counts as success
Fill a 6×6 grid with balanced zeroes and ones, no three equal neighbours, and no duplicate rows or columns. Read that aim before choosing your first action. The example below illustrates a decision.
The order of 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.
Keyboard and screen controls
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. A new-round button replaces the current round.
Follow the example
A row beginning 0 0 needs 1 next. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Verify the rule before continuing.
A common point of confusion
Balanced rows may still duplicate each other. Check the rule before repeating the action. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
