How to play Binary Puzzle

Choose a round of Binary Puzzle and settle into its rules. Fill a 6×6 grid with balanced zeroes and ones, no three equal neighbours, and no duplicate rows or columns. Look at what changes after your first action. Read the objective before making your first input. Look at what changes after your first action.

Choose from ten 6×6 puzzles. Undo changes or reveal a selected cell when you need help.

Read before acting

Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. 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. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Take a moment to understand the current position.

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. A new-round button replaces the current round.

A useful example

A row beginning 0 0 needs 1 next. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Consider the next action carefully.

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.
