-
Each color pair gets exactly one stitch
A stitch connects two cells in adjacent color regions. Each pair of neighboring regions must be connected by exactly one stitch.
-
Stitches cross region borders
A stitch is an orthogonal edge between two cells of different colors. You cannot stitch two cells of the same color.
-
Every region must connect to all its neighbors
If a region has three neighboring regions, it needs three stitches. Track the stitch count per region-border pair to avoid missing or duplicating a stitch.
-
Look for single-border regions
A region that touches only one other region must have its stitch on that shared border. Identify these forced stitches early.
