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. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. 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.

Keep the aim in sight

Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Refer to the controls when needed.

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. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Read the example below alongside these instructions.

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. Look for the relevant detail.

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.
