There are others involving two numbers together, and multiple pairs of numbers in a row, but you’ll have to figure those out for yourself. You must colour them in so that the corner is black. A square of four numbers in a corner is telltale, because you can’t ‘widow’ the number that is in the corner. There are other assumptions that you can make, and these are learned over time. This is a common Nikoli W rule, and it helps to tidy up yet more squares. they must ‘chain up’ to make one long sequence of white squares, without any islands of cut-off squares. Another one is that the white squares can never be ‘widowed’, i.e. Since two black squares cannot touch each other, that must mean that the two outer 4s are black. Since only one of them can be white and therefore active, two of them must be black. But which one to black out, we hear you ask from the back? Well, that’s when the next rule comes into play: you can’t have two black squares next to each other. By turning a square and number black, they are no longer considered part of the puzzle. That means ‘blacking out’ certain numbers. Unlike Sudoku, however, the numbers are already in the grid for you, and errors have been made. Now, these numbers have a Sudoku-like quality: you can only have one of each number in any given column or row (diagonals don’t count).
Okay: imagine a grid covered in numbers (or just look at the screenshots, which will probably be easier). Want to win a 12 month Xbox Live Gold subscription? Enter now!Įxplaining a Puzzle by Nikoli W game is never the easiest of challenges, so excuse us if it’s hard to visualise.
