The goal

Turn every light on the grid off.

Pressing

  • Tap a light to flip it and the lights directly above, below, left and right of it: on goes off, off goes on.
  • On a keyboard, move with the arrow keys or W, A, S, D and press Space or Enter.
  • Undo takes back your last press, and Restart puzzle puts the grid back as it was dealt.

Tips

  • Order doesn’t matter, and pressing a light twice cancels out, so each light needs pressing at most once.
  • Work row by row: press the light under each lit one to clear the row above, then see what’s left on the bottom.
  • Stuck? Hint highlights one press of a shortest solution.

Modes and par

  • Easy is a 4×4 grid, Normal 5×5 and Hard 6×6. Every puzzle can be solved.
  • Par is the fewest presses that solve the puzzle. Your best time and fewest moves are kept for each mode.
