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

    1. Row 1: ☀ ☾ ☾ ☀ ☾ ☀
    2. Row 2: ☀ ☾ ☾ ☀ ☀ ☾
    3. Row 3: ☾ ☀ ☀ ☾ ☀ ☾
    4. Row 4: ☾ ☾ ☀ ☀ ☾ ☀
    5. Row 5: ☀ ☀ ☾ ☾ ☀ ☾
    6. Row 6: ☾ ☀ ☀ ☾ ☾ ☀

    ☀ = sun, ☾ = 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.
