See It in Action

Color every cell black or white — both colors must each form a single connected region

How to Play

  1. Given (pre-colored) cells anchor the solution — extend each color region from those cells
  2. If coloring a cell one way would disconnect the opposite color's region, use the other color
  3. Prevent 2×2 monochromatic blocks as you place each cell
  4. Use both connectivity rules together: each decision affects both black and white connectivity

Pro Tips

The 2×2 rule is the most useful constraint — when three cells of the same color form an L, the fourth must be the other color

Think of both colors as two countries that must each be fully connected — neither can have isolated enclaves

Given cells of the same color close together help anchor connectivity — start extending from those clusters

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Yin-Yang?

Yin-Yang is a logic puzzle where you color each cell black or white. Both colors must form a single connected region, and no 2×2 block may be entirely one color.
