Tango Solver

Copy any 6×6 Tango board in and press Solve. The solver explains each step, so you can follow along or stop and finish it yourself.

Tap a square for a sun, again for a moon, and again to clear it.

0 squares, 0 signs

How to use the Tango solver

  1. With Squares picked, tap each square that has a sun or a moon in your puzzle. One tap is a sun, two taps a moon, three taps clear it.
  2. Pick Signs and tap the line between two squares that have a sign. One tap is =, two taps ×, three taps clear it.
  3. Press Solve. Use Next step to go one move at a time. Newly filled squares are outlined in blue. Show the whole answer jumps to the end.

The rules of Tango

  • Fill every square with a sun or a moon.
  • Each row and each column has three suns and three moons.
  • No more than two of the same symbol sit next to each other, across or down.
  • Two squares joined by = are the same. Two squares joined by × are different.

Tango solver questions

Is this the LinkedIn Tango answer for today?

No. We don't publish LinkedIn's daily answer. Copy today's board in, press Solve, and the solver works it out and explains each step. You can stop after any step and finish it yourself.

Is the Tango solver free?

Yes. There is no account and no app to install.

Does it work for Takuzu and Binairo?

Yes, for 6×6 boards. Takuzu and Binairo use 0 and 1 instead of a sun and a moon, so pick one to stand for 0 and enter the board the same way. Boards larger than 6×6 aren't supported yet. Classic Takuzu also says no two rows or columns may match. The solver doesn't use that rule, so a Takuzu board that relies on it may show more than one answer.

Why does it say my board has more than one answer?

A real Tango board has exactly one answer. If the solver finds two, a square or a sign is missing. The squares where two answers differ are circled, so check the board around them against your puzzle.

Why does it say my board has no answer?

A square or a sign was copied in wrong. If the board already breaks a rule, the solver circles the squares that break it.

Does the solver guess?

It tries the simple moves first: pairs, gaps, signs and counting to three. On a hard board it may say "a sun here would break a rule a few moves later", which is still logic. If it ever runs out of steps, it says so and fills in the rest from the one answer.
