About Tango #685
- Tango #685 starts with 1 of 36 squares filled: 1 sun and 0 moons.
- It has 5 equals signs and 9 cross signs between neighboring squares.
- LinkedIn rates it Hard.
- It has 1 pre-filled squares, fewer than the average of 7.9 across the previous 7 puzzles.
- This opening fills 1 square by pure deduction from the 1 pre-filled symbol and the signs between squares, with no guessing.
- In row 1, the cross signs on R1C2–R1C3 and R1C4–R1C5 each guarantee one sun and one moon, so together with the 1 sun already placed the line reaches its quota of 3 suns, and the last free square, R1C6, must be a moon.
