Controls

A useful example

The coloured region, not a conventional 3×3 box, defines the third no-repeat constraint. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Consider the next action carefully.

Watch out for this

A full board must obey every extra rule. Reveal supplies assistance; it is not an earned deduction. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
