Hitori: instructions and practice
Make Hitori your next activity in the game library. 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.
An idea for your next attempt
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. Keep the objective visible.
The goal to keep in mind
Shade repeated numbers while keeping black cells separated and all white cells connected. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
Work through the instructions
- 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.
Making selections and moves
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. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
An example before you play
Two identical unshaded numbers in one row cannot both remain. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Look for the relevant detail.
An important reminder
Removing every duplicate can disconnect white cells. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
