About Tango #657
- Tango #657 starts with 6 of 36 squares filled: 1 sun and 5 moons.
- It has 3 equals signs and 1 cross sign between neighboring squares.
- It has 6 pre-filled squares, fewer than the average of 7.3 across the previous 7 puzzles.
- This opening fills 3 squares by pure deduction from the 6 pre-filled symbols, with no guessing.
- R1C5 and R1C6 are neighboring moons in row 1, and a third moon beside them would make three in a row, so R1C4 next to them must be a sun.
- R5C1 and R5C2 are neighboring moons in row 5, and a third moon beside them would make three in a row, so R5C3 next to them must be a sun.
- R1C6 and R2C6 are neighboring moons in column 6, and a third moon beside them would make three in a column, so R3C6 next to them must be a sun.
