About Tango #697
- Tango #697 starts with 6 of 36 squares filled: 2 suns and 4 moons.
- It has 1 equals sign and 2 cross signs between neighboring squares.
- LinkedIn rates it Hard.
- It has 6 pre-filled squares, the same as the average of 6.0 across the previous 7 puzzles.
- This opening fills 4 squares by pure deduction from the 6 pre-filled symbols, with no guessing.
- R5C3 and R6C3 are neighboring moons in column 3, and a third moon beside them would make three in a column, so R4C3 next to them must be a sun.
- R5C5 and R6C5 are neighboring moons in column 5, and a third moon beside them would make three in a column, so R4C5 next to them must be a sun.
- R2C6 and R3C6 are neighboring suns in column 6, and a third sun beside them would make three in a column, so R1C6 and R4C6 on both ends must be moons.
