Binary puzzles, if you love puzzling, you should try a binary puzzle. The goal of a binary puzzle is to have the same number of zeros (blue) and ones (green) in every row, and in every column. Each game starts with a grid with a few boxes already filled in. This must be completed further with the following lines: - Every row and every column is unique. - Each row and column contains as many zeros (blue) as ones (green). - There are no more than two neighboring tiles with the same number / color. With thousands of unique puzzles, every game will be different.

Rumba is the daily Binairo+ puzzle for everyone who loves Takuzu, Binoxxo and binary logic. Simple rules, deep thinking, and a fresh grid waiting every morning. How to Play: fill the grid with two symbols. Follow the rules: 1. Every row and column holds an equal number of both symbols. 2. Never more than two identical symbols side by side. 3. "=" joins cells that match, "x" joins cells that differ. 4. Every puzzle has exactly one solution, so you never have to guess. Features: - Daily Puzzle: a new grid every day, in the difficulty you pick. - Weekly Challenge: a longer puzzle with no timer and no ranking. Take the whole week. - 39 Puzzle Packs: five tiers from Beginner through Advanced, Expert and Wizard up to Genius. Replay any pack whenever you like. - Grids from 6x6 to 24x24: start small, then take on boards most binary puzzle apps never offer. - Hints That Teach: the solver explains the technique behind each move, from pairs and gaps to forced triples and chain reactions, so you improve instead of just getting unstuck. - Strategy Guide: Rules, Basics and Advanced chapters, plus an interactive tour that walks you through your first grid. - Play With Friends: invite friends, compare times head to head, and climb the global leaderboards. - Streaks: build a run of daily solves, and recover one if life gets in the way. - Make It Yours: swap the board symbols for 10 icon sets including sun and moon, animals, nature and food. - Built for Comfort: dark theme, optional timer, quick saves, undo, redo, highlight marks, pinch to zoom, and full offline play.
