Hitori - Logic Puzzle

🔢 Hitori is a Japanese-style logic puzzle: shade cells until no number repeats in any row or column. Pure deduction, no arithmetic, no luck.

Every puzzle in this game has exactly ONE solution, and every one of them can be reached by reasoning. You never have to guess.

📏 THE THREE RULES

1. No repeats: a number may not appear twice unshaded in the same row or column.

2. No touching: two shaded cells never share a side. Diagonals are fine.

3. One white area: every unshaded cell must connect to all the others.

💡 HINTS THAT TEACH, NOT HINTS THAT SOLVE

Stuck? The hint does not fill a cell in for you: it tells you which rule applies right here, in plain words, and points at the cell it is talking about. You still make the move, so next time you spot it yourself. And if the board has no forced step left, it says so and costs you nothing.

📐 FIVE SIZES, FOUR LEVELS

From a 5×5 you finish on the bus to a 15×15 that takes an evening. Easy, Medium, Hard and Expert, and the level is measured from the techniques each board really needs, not guessed.

🎓 LEARN BY PLAYING

Your first board walks you through it move by move, with the same explanations the hint gives you later on. No wall of text before you get to play.
