Binary Puzzle

Balance the grid with 0s and 1s.

Binary Puzzle — also known as Takuzu or Binairo — is a deceptively simple logic puzzle: just two symbols, three clean rules, and a satisfying amount of deduction packed into every grid.

How to play Binary Puzzle

Fill every cell with a 0 or a 1 so that no three matching values sit in a row anywhere, horizontally or vertically.

Every row and column must end up with an equal count of 0s and 1s.

No two rows can end up identical to each other, and no two columns can end up identical to each other.

Example

If a row already reads "1 1 _ 0", the third cell can't be a 1 — that would make three 1s in a row.

Difficulty

Easy6×6 grid — enough room to spot the first few forced moves.
Medium8×8 grid — the equal-count and no-duplicate-line rules start to bite.
Hard10×10 grid — a proper deduction challenge.

Tips & strategy

  • Whenever two of the same value sit next to each other, the cells on either side are forced to be the opposite value.
  • Once a row or column has used up half its 0s or half its 1s, every remaining empty cell in that line must be the other value.
  • Compare near-finished rows and columns against each other — the no-duplicate-line rule often forces the last few cells.
