How to play Binary Puzzle

Open Binary Puzzle, check the instructions and begin a round. Fill a 6×6 grid with balanced zeroes and ones, no three equal neighbours, and no duplicate rows or columns. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.

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. Keep the objective visible.

Your goal

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. Use the control method described here for this activity. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.

A useful example

A row beginning 0 0 needs 1 next. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the controls nearby.

Watch out for this

Balanced rows may still duplicate each other. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
