About Tango #719
- Tango #719 starts with 8 of 36 squares filled: 6 suns and 2 moons.
- It has 2 equals signs and 4 cross signs between neighboring squares.
- LinkedIn rates it Hard.
- It has 8 pre-filled squares, more than the average of 7.7 across the previous 7 puzzles.
- This opening fills 4 squares by pure deduction from the 8 pre-filled symbols and the signs between squares, with no guessing.
- R1C2 and R1C3 are neighboring suns in row 1, and a third sun beside them would make three in a row, so R1C1 and R1C4 on both ends must be moons.
- The cross sign between R1C1 and R2C1 says the two squares must be opposites, and R1C1 was already shown to be a moon, so R2C1 has to be a sun.
- The equals sign between R1C4 and R1C5 says the two squares must match, and R1C4 was already shown to be a moon, so R1C5 must be a moon too.
