Hints and the full solution for the LinkedIn Tango puzzle of November 5, 2026.

Tango #759, redrawn. Fill every cell with a sun or a moon: 3 of each in every row and column, never three alike in a row; = means the same, × means opposite.

Hints for Tango #759

CheckCheck the cells you have so far

Copy what you have filled in (tap once for a sun, twice for a moon) and press Check: we say how many cells are wrong and mark only the first.

The checker needs JavaScript.

Hint 1Cells that follow from the givens

Four simple rules: two of a kind side by side push the opposite to both ends; a gap between two of a kind takes the opposite; = and × copy or flip a neighbour; and a line that already has its 3 of one symbol takes the other. They alone fill these 6 cells:

Hint 2Rows 1–2 filled in

Rows 1–2 complete. Each row and column needs 3 suns and 3 moons, so count what is left in every line.

Hint 3All but the last two rows

Rows 1–4 complete. Two rows to go: count what each column still needs.

How to solve Tango #759, step by step

Our solver's reasoning, in an order you can follow without guessing. In each picture the ringed cells are the ones that move fills, and the outline shows the row, column or pair it looked at.

Show all 27 steps (this gives the answer away)

Row 6 has a pair of moons, so column 4 beside them gets a sun: a third moon would make three in a row.
× means opposite: row 6, column 4 is a sun, so row 6, column 5 takes a moon.
The × between row 6, column 5 and row 6, column 6 means they are opposite. Row 6, column 5 is a moon, so row 6, column 6 is a sun.
Row 6, column 5 is a moon, and the × next to it flips that: row 5, column 5 is a sun.
A third sun can’t join the pair in column 2, so row 3 is a moon.
Two moons side by side in column 2: the cell next to them (row 4) must be a sun, or there would be three moons in a row.
Row 1 needs one more sun, and the × pair (row 1, column 4 and row 1, column 5) will hold one sun and one moon. So every other empty cell in row 1 is a moon.
× means opposite: row 1, column 6 is a moon, so row 1, column 5 takes a sun.
The × between row 1, column 4 and row 1, column 5 means they are opposite. Row 1, column 5 is a sun, so row 1, column 4 is a moon.
Row 1, column 5 is a sun, and the × next to it flips that: row 2, column 5 is a moon.
Suppose row 5, column 1 were a sun. Following the rules from there (3 forced cells), column 1 would get three moons in a row. So row 5, column 1 is a moon.
Two moons side by side in row 5: the cell next to them (column 3) must be a sun, or there would be three moons in a row.
Column 4 of row 5 sits between two suns, so it has to be a moon.
Row 5 is full up on moons: column 6 takes a sun.
Two suns side by side in column 6: the cell next to them (row 4) must be a moon, or there would be three suns in a row.
Suppose row 2, column 3 were a moon. Following the rules from there (3 forced cells), column 3 would get more than 3 moons. So row 2, column 3 is a sun.
A third sun can’t join the pair in row 2, so columns 1 and 4 are moons.
Two moons side by side in row 2: the cell next to them (column 6) must be a sun, or there would be three moons in a row.
Column 4 has a pair of moons, so row 3 beside them gets a sun: a third moon would make three in a row.
Column 4 is full up on moons: row 4 takes a sun.
Column 3 of row 4 sits between two suns, so it has to be a moon.
With three moons already in column 3, row 3 has to be a sun.
A third sun can’t join the pair in row 3, so column 5 is a moon.
Two moons side by side in column 5: the cell next to them (row 4) must be a sun, or there would be three moons in a row.
With three suns already in row 4, column 1 has to be a moon.
A third moon can’t join the pair in column 1, so row 3 is a sun.
Row 3 already has its 3 suns, so its last empty cell (column 6) is a moon.
