    Rows count from the top and columns from the left. The rule doing most of the work: no more than two suns or two moons may sit next to each other in a row or column.

    1. Row 6 has two suns side by side in columns 4 and 5, so column 3 of that row is a moon.
    2. Column 6 has two moons one above the other in rows 5 and 6, so row 4 of that column is a sun.
    3. Column 6 needs just one more moon, and the × sign between rows 1 and 2 means one of those two cells is a moon. So row 3 of that column is a sun.
    4. Column 6 has two suns one above the other in rows 3 and 4, so row 2 of that column is a moon.
    5. Row 1, column 6 is joined by an × sign to the moon below it, so it is the opposite: a sun.
    6. Row 1, column 5 is joined by an × sign to the sun to its right, so it is the opposite: a moon.
    7. Suppose row 1, column 1 were a sun. Then row 1, column 2 would be a sun too, because of the = sign to its left. Then row 1, column 3 would be a moon, because of the × sign to its left. Then row 1 would have moons in columns 3 and 5, so column 4 between them would be a sun. That would give row 1 four suns, and it can only hold three. So row 1, column 1 is a moon.
    8. Row 1, column 2 is joined by an = sign to the moon to its left, so it is a moon too.
    9. Row 1, column 3 is joined by an × sign to the moon to its left, so it is the opposite: a sun.
    10. Row 2, column 1 is joined by an = sign to the moon above it, so it is a moon too.
    11. Column 1 has two moons one above the other in rows 1 and 2, so row 3 of that column is a sun.
    12. Row 1 already has its three moons, so its last open cell, column 4, is a sun.
    13. Suppose row 5, column 1 were a moon. Then row 6, column 1 would be a moon too, because of the = sign above it. That would give column 1 four moons, and it can only hold three. So row 5, column 1 is a sun.
    14. Row 6, column 1 is joined by an = sign to the sun above it, so it is a sun too.
    15. Row 6, column 2 is joined by an × sign to the sun to its left, so it is the opposite: a moon.
    16. Column 1 has two suns one above the other in rows 5 and 6, so row 4 of that column is a moon.
    17. Suppose row 2, column 2 were a moon. Then row 2 would have two moons side by side in columns 1 and 2, so column 3 of that row would be a sun. Then row 2 would have its three moons, so columns 4 and 5 of that row would be suns. That would make three suns in a row, in columns 3, 4, and 5 of row 2. So row 2, column 2 is a sun.
    18. Suppose row 2, column 4 were a sun. Then column 4 would have two suns one above the other in rows 1 and 2, so row 3 of that column would be a moon. Then column 4 would have its three suns, so rows 4 and 5 of that column would be moons. That would make three moons in a row, in rows 3, 4, and 5 of column 4. So row 2, column 4 is a moon.
    19. Row 2 has moons in columns 4 and 6, so column 5 between them is a sun: another moon would make three in a row.
    20. Row 2 already has its three moons, so its last open cell, column 3, is a sun.
    21. Column 3 has two suns one above the other in rows 1 and 2, so row 3 of that column is a moon.
    22. Suppose row 3, column 2 were a sun. Then row 3 would have its three suns, so columns 4 and 5 of that row would be moons. That would make three moons in a row, in columns 3, 4, and 5 of row 3. So row 3, column 2 is a moon.
    23. Row 3 has two moons side by side in columns 2 and 3, so column 4 of that row is a sun.
    24. Row 3 has suns in columns 4 and 6, so column 5 between them is a moon: another sun would make three in a row.
    25. Column 2 already has its three moons, so its open cells, rows 4 and 5, are suns.
    26. Row 5 has two suns side by side in columns 1 and 2, so column 3 of that row is a moon.
    27. Column 3 has two moons one above the other in rows 5 and 6, so row 4 of that column is a sun.
    28. Row 4 has two suns side by side in columns 2 and 3, so column 4 of that row is a moon.
    29. Row 4 already has its three suns, so its last open cell, column 5, is a moon.
    30. Column 5 has two moons one above the other in rows 3 and 4, so row 5 of that column is a sun.
    31. Row 5 already has its three suns, so its last open cell, column 4, is a moon.

How to play Tango

  • Fill every cell with either a sun or a moon.
  • Each row and each column holds the same number of suns and moons — three of each on a 6×6 board.
  • No more than two identical symbols may sit next to each other in a row or column.
  • Cells joined by = must match; cells joined by × must be opposites.
