About Tango #711
- Tango #711 starts with 6 of 36 squares filled: 5 suns and 1 moon.
- It has 2 equals signs and 3 cross signs between neighboring squares.
- LinkedIn rates it Hard.
- It has 6 pre-filled squares, fewer than the average of 7.4 across the previous 7 puzzles.
- This opening fills 4 squares by pure deduction from the 6 pre-filled symbols, with no guessing.
- R3C2 and R3C3 are neighboring suns in row 3, and a third sun beside them would make three in a row, so R3C4 next to them must be a moon.
- R2C3 and R3C3 are neighboring suns in column 3, and a third sun beside them would make three in a column, so R1C3 and R4C3 on both ends must be moons.
- R2C1 and R2C3 are both suns with only R2C2 between them in row 2, so another sun there would make three in a row; R2C2 must be a moon.
