Tango 6x6 grids

The Tango 6x6 puzzle

The 6x6 Tango grid is the best place to start, and it is also the format published every day on LinkedIn Tango: six rows, six columns, three suns and three moons per row and per column. The board is small enough to hold every constraint in a single glance, and rich enough to teach the reflexes you will reuse on every larger size. You balance suns ☀ and moons ☾, never lining up three identical symbols in a row, horizontally or vertically.

On this format, the right method is to spot pairs that are already placed first: two neighboring suns force a moon right after them to avoid a triple, and a row already close to its quota of three suns forces every remaining cell to become a moon. The = and × clues between two neighboring cells give a second source of deduction: an = sign forces the same symbol on both sides, a × sign forces the opposite. Combine both kinds of logic and the grid almost unravels on its own.

The 6x6 is fully solvable by logic, with no guessing. Every grid has a unique solution guaranteed by the generator, so if you are stuck, a deduction remains to be made - luck is never the missing piece. It is the ideal format to build confidence, understand the three-in-a-row rule and rack up wins in a few minutes.

When the 6x6 feels too easy, step up to the 8x8, or jump straight into the daily challenge to measure yourself against other players. You can solve as many 6x6 grids as you like here, free and without signing up, the exact format LinkedIn offers.
