About Tango #683
- Tango #683 starts with 6 of 36 squares filled: 5 suns and 1 moon.
- It has 3 equals signs and 1 cross sign between neighboring squares.
- LinkedIn rates it Hard.
- It has 6 pre-filled squares, fewer than the average of 7.7 across the previous 7 puzzles.
- This opening fills 4 squares by pure deduction from the 6 pre-filled symbols and the signs between squares, with no guessing.
- R1C1 and R2C1 are neighboring suns in column 1, and a third sun beside them would make three in a column, so R3C1 next to them must be a moon.
- The equals sign between R4C4 and R4C5 means they share a symbol, and with a sun on R4C3 right beside them in row 4, a pair of suns would make three in a row, so R4C4 and R4C5 must both be moons.
- The equals sign between R4C5 and R5C5 says the two squares must match, and R4C5 was already shown to be a moon, so R5C5 must be a moon too.
