Tango #648 hints and answer for Friday, July 17, 2026
A 6x6 of suns and moons, and on Friday's board three of the four corners are moons - only the bottom-left corner is a sun. The hints below climb from the rules of the grid to one full column - take only as many as you need, then check the solved board at the bottom.
Hints, in order
Hint 0 of 4Tap to show one hint at a time. Stop as soon as you have enough.
Every row and every column holds exactly three suns and three moons. If a line already shows three of one symbol, everything left in it is the other one.
No three of the same symbol ever sit together in a row or column. Two moons side by side force a moon on both open ends.
The corners: three of the four corners are moons - only the bottom-left corner is a sun.
Column 1, read top to bottom, runs: moon, moon, sun, moon, sun, sun.
The solved grid
This is the full solution to Tango #648. Only tap if you are ready.
Suns in gold, moons in indigo, read row by row from the top-left.
How Tango works
Tango is LinkedIn's sun-and-moon logic puzzle. Fill the 6x6 grid so that every row and every column holds exactly three suns and three moons, no three of the same symbol ever sit together in a row or column, and no two rows - or columns - are identical. Some squares start filled, and = and x marks between squares say whether their symbols match or differ.
Friday's puzzle starts with 7 pre-filled squares, and its = and x marks are worth reading before anything else: an = pair is a free second cell wherever you solve the first.
