Chiidoku Rules

Every Chiidoku rule explained: one Chiikawa per row, column, and colored area, plus the adjacency restriction and the placements it forbids.

What are the Rules of Chiidoku?

Chiidoku runs on four restrictions working at once: exactly one Chiikawa in every row, every column, and every colored area, and no two Chiikawas touching. Every valid solution satisfies all four together.

Why learn the rules precisely?

2
