Akari Glow
Rules and first moves
How to play Akari
Place bulbs to light every white cell, with no two bulbs seeing each other. Akari is also called Light Up.
The rules
- Light every white cell. Bulbs go on white cells. A bulb lights its own cell, then its row and column until a black wall stops the light.
- No bulb sees another. Two bulbs may not share a row or column with no wall between them.
- Match the walls. A number on a wall is how many bulbs sit in the four cells touching it. Diagonals do not count. A blank wall has no count.
First moves
- A 0 wall has no bulbs beside it. Rule out all its neighbours.
- When a wall has exactly as many free neighbours as bulbs it still needs, every one of them takes a bulb.
- After placing a bulb, rule out every cell it sees in its row and column.
