    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 4 has two moons side by side in columns 1 and 2, so column 3 of that row is a sun.
    2. Row 5 has two moons side by side in columns 4 and 5, so columns 3 and 6 of that row are suns.
    3. Column 1 has two moons one above the other in rows 4 and 5, so rows 3 and 6 of that column are suns.
    4. Column 3 has two suns one above the other in rows 4 and 5, so rows 3 and 6 of that column are moons.
    5. Row 2, column 3 is joined by an × sign to the moon below it, so it is the opposite: a sun.
    6. Row 2, column 4 is joined by an = sign to the sun to its left, so it is a sun too.
    7. Row 1, column 4 is joined by an = sign to the sun below it, so it is a sun too.
    8. Row 1, column 5 is joined by an = sign to the sun to its left, so it is a sun too.
    9. Row 1 has two suns side by side in columns 4 and 5, so columns 3 and 6 of that row are moons.
    10. Row 2 has two suns side by side in columns 3 and 4, so columns 2 and 5 of that row are moons.
    11. Column 4 has two suns one above the other in rows 1 and 2, so row 3 of that column is a moon.
    12. Row 3 has two moons side by side in columns 3 and 4, so columns 2 and 5 of that row are suns.
    13. Column 5 has two moons one above the other in rows 4 and 5, so row 6 of that column is a sun.
    14. Row 3 already has its three suns, so its last open cell, column 6, is a moon.
    15. Column 6 has moons in rows 1 and 3, so row 2 between them is a sun: another moon would make three in a row.
    16. Row 2 already has its three suns, so its last open cell, column 1, is a moon.
    17. Row 4 already has its three moons, so its last open cell, column 6, is a sun.
    18. Column 6 has two suns one above the other in rows 4 and 5, so row 6 of that column is a moon.
    19. Column 1 already has its three moons, so its last open cell, row 1, is a sun.
    20. Row 1 already has its three suns, so its last open cell, column 2, is a moon.
    21. Column 2 already has its three moons, so its last open cell, row 6, is a sun.
    22. Row 6 already has its three suns, so its last open cell, column 4, is a moon.

    1. Row 1: ☀ ☾ ☾ ☀ ☀ ☾
    2. Row 2: ☾ ☾ ☀ ☀ ☾ ☀

    5. Row 5: ☾ ☀ ☀ ☾ ☾ ☀

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.
