How to play Binary Puzzle

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. Use the example below to understand a decision. Begin with the solo mode shown on the page. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

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

Fill a 6×6 grid with balanced zeroes and ones, no three equal neighbours, and no duplicate rows or columns. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

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. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use one clear input at a time.

A useful example

A row beginning 0 0 needs 1 next. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Notice the change in the playing area.

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. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
