Black & White Grid

Balance black and white tiles. No triples, no identical rows or columns.

Tap to cycle empty → black → white → empty. ◆ marks a given tile.
Controls and saving

Tap a cell to cycle through empty, black and white. Tiles marked ◆ are fixed. Use arrow keys to move, Space or Enter to cycle, and Delete to erase.

Progress is saved on this device when storage is available.

How to play

Tap an empty cell for black, again for white, and again to clear it. Never put three tiles of the same colour consecutively in a row or column. Each row and column must contain equal numbers of black and white tiles. Every completed row must differ from every other row; the same applies to columns. Tiles marked ◆ are fixed. Hints reveal a strategy, a cell, then the answer.
