About Tango #698
- Tango #698 starts with 8 of 36 squares filled: 5 suns and 3 moons.
- It has 1 equals sign and 3 cross signs between neighboring squares.
- LinkedIn rates it Hard.
- It has 8 pre-filled squares, more than the average of 5.7 across the previous 7 puzzles.
- This opening fills 3 squares by pure deduction from the 8 pre-filled symbols and the signs between squares, with no guessing.
- The equals sign between R1C5 and R1C6 means they share a symbol, and with a sun on R1C4 right beside them in row 1, a pair of suns would make three in a row, so R1C5 and R1C6 must both be moons.
- The cross sign between R1C6 and R2C6 says the two squares must be opposites, and R1C6 was already shown to be a moon, so R2C6 has to be a sun.
