Understand the basics of Hitori

Make Hitori your next activity in the game library. Shade repeated numbers while keeping black cells separated and all white cells connected. Look at what changes after your first action. Read the objective before making your first input. Use the example below to understand a decision.

Play twelve 5×5 puzzles. Any shaded starting cells remain fixed.

Practice beyond the first move

Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Refer to the controls when needed.

What you need to achieve

Shade repeated numbers while keeping black cells separated and all white cells connected. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Start with a deliberate move.

The order of play

  1. Click a cell to shade, mark or clear it.
  2. No unshaded number may repeat in a row or column.
  3. Black cells cannot share an edge.
  4. Check puzzle verifies duplicates and connectivity.

Input guidance

Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. A new-round button replaces the current round.

Follow the example

Two identical unshaded numbers in one row cannot both remain. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the game’s format in mind.

Where a round can go wrong

Removing every duplicate can disconnect white cells. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
