What is Tango?
Tango is a thinking game popularized by LinkedIn, which launched it in October 2024 in its suite of daily games, alongside Queens, Pinpoint and Crossclimb. The idea draws from a much older family of puzzles, known as Takuzu in France and Binairo in Belgium: on a grid split into cells, you place a sun or a moon in every cell so that each row and each column ends up perfectly balanced, with never three identical symbols in a row.
Our version is free and limitless. Where the official LinkedIn game offers one grid a day, always in a 6x6 format, we generate grids endlessly, from 6x6 to 10x10, each verified to hold a single solution. You progress at your own pace, with no account, no ad wall before you play, and never a puzzle that is impossible or ambiguous. It is honest logic, from start to finish, and it is entirely free.
The rules in four points
All of Tango fits in four constraints. Together, they leave only one possible arrangement of suns and moons.
1. Half suns, half moons
Each row and each column of the grid holds exactly half suns and half moons. On an 8x8 grid, every row therefore counts four suns and four moons, no more, no less.
2. Never three identical symbols in a row
Two suns or two moons can sit next to each other, but never three. This rule applies horizontally and vertically, and it is what turns a simple count into a real logic puzzle.
3. The = and × clues
Some neighboring cells carry a small sign between them. An = forces the same symbol on both sides, a × forces the opposite symbol. These clues give a second source of deduction, independent from counting.
4. A single solution
Every grid starts from a handful of pre-filled cells and admits only one way to complete the rest. If you are stuck, a deduction remains to be found: you never need to guess or gamble.
Three ways to play
Progression
Grids that grow from 6x6 to 10x10 and rise in difficulty as you advance, from Easy to Master.
Daily challenge
One shared 6x6 grid for every player each day, with a leaderboard and a streak to keep alive. Past dates stay playable.
Weekly challenge
One tougher grid per week, to solve within seven days. The rendezvous for logic fans who want to push a little harder.
Why play here rather than on LinkedIn
LinkedIn's Tango introduced this puzzle, now hugely popular with players worldwide, but it stops at one daily 6x6 grid inside an app built for work. Our game extends the fun: as soon as you finish the daily challenge, you move on to a new grid, then another, and you can even climb up to the 10x10 for a real logic challenge.
Every grid runs through a solver that guarantees a single solution: you never waste time on a broken puzzle. Add the leaderboard, the streaks and a progression mode that carries you from beginner to expert, and you get a daily logic workout that is free and frictionless. If the name Takuzu or Binairo rings a bell instead, know that it is exactly the same game, under another name.
Frequently asked questions
What is Tango game?
Tango is a free online logic puzzle played on a grid of suns and moons. Every row and every column must hold exactly half suns and half moons, no three identical symbols can sit in a row, and some cells carry an = or a × clue that ties two neighboring cells together. Every grid has a single solution reached by pure deduction.
Is Tango free to play?
Yes. Tango is completely free, with no download and no mandatory sign-up. You can solve as many grids as you like directly in your browser, on desktop or mobile. An optional Premium plan simply removes ads.
How is this different from LinkedIn Tango?
LinkedIn Tango gives you one puzzle per day inside the LinkedIn app or website, always on a 6x6 grid. Our version keeps the exact same rules but adds unlimited grids, a progression mode from 6x6 to 10x10, a daily challenge, a weekly challenge, a leaderboard and streaks, with no account required.
Is Takuzu the same game as Tango?
Yes, they belong to the same puzzle family, also known as Binairo. All three share the identical core rule: balance two symbols on every row and column with never three in a row. Classic Takuzu and Binairo grids usually skip the = and × clues and rely only on counting and the three-in-a-row rule, while Tango grids typically add those clues. Our grids cover both styles.
How do you win a Tango puzzle?
You win when every row and every column holds exactly half suns and half moons, no three identical symbols sit in a row, and every = or × clue is respected. Reaching that state through logic, without guessing, solves the grid.
What is the Tango daily challenge?
Each day a single 6x6 grid is generated for every player worldwide, the same format LinkedIn Tango uses. You get one shared puzzle, a daily leaderboard and a streak to keep alive by coming back every day. Past dates stay available in the archive.
Can I play Tango on mobile?
Yes. Tango is built thumb-first and works just as well on a phone as on a computer. Tap a cell to cycle it between empty, sun and moon, with no download or installation.
What are the best tips to improve at Tango?
Start by scanning for two identical neighbors: they force the next cell to be the opposite symbol. Count how many suns and how many moons each row and column already holds; once a symbol reaches its quota, every remaining cell in that line takes the other one. Then follow every = and × clue outward from a cell you already know. Our techniques guide walks through each method in detail.
Can I play Tango with two players or with friends?
Yes. Tango has a real-time multiplayer mode: create a private room, share the invite link with no account needed, and race a friend over 5 rounds on the same 6x6 grids. You can also face a random opponent through matchmaking. There is no hint in multiplayer, so the fastest, most accurate solver wins the duel.
