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. Why Rumba? Binairo, Takuzu, Binoxxo, Binero. Whatever you call it, this is binary logic done properly: hundreds of grids, a solver that actually teaches, and a new challenge every morning.
