The Hitori playbook
Read the aim of Hitori, then make your first move. Shade repeated numbers while keeping black cells separated and all white cells connected. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Look at what changes after your first action.
Play twelve 5×5 puzzles. Any shaded starting cells remain fixed.
A small practice goal
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Notice the feedback after each input.
Aim for this result
Shade repeated numbers while keeping black cells separated and all white cells connected. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Start with a deliberate move.
Step by step
- Click a cell to shade, mark or clear it.
- No unshaded number may repeat in a row or column.
- Black cells cannot share an edge.
- Check puzzle verifies duplicates and connectivity.
The controls to know
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Check any mode label before starting.
Work through an example
Two identical unshaded numbers in one row cannot both remain. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Look for the relevant detail.
One detail worth checking
Removing every duplicate can disconnect white cells. Check the rule before repeating the action. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
