How to play Binary Puzzle

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. Read the objective before making your first input. 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.

Focus on one rule

Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. 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. Notice how the game responds to your input.

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 one clear input at a time.

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. Check the stated objective.

Watch out for this

Balanced rows may still duplicate each other. Compare the situation with the worked example. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
