How to play Binary Puzzle

Bring your attention to one round of Binary Puzzle. 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. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

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. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

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. Use one clear input at a time.

A useful example

A row beginning 0 0 needs 1 next. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the game’s format in mind.

Watch out for this

Balanced rows may still duplicate each other. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
