Lights Out
A grid of lights, all of which have to end up off. Pressing one toggles it and its four neighbours, so every press undoes part of your last one. There is no penalty for a wrong move — the only score is how few presses it takes.
How it works
- Turn off every light on the board.
- Pressing a tile toggles itself and its neighbours above, below, left and right.
- Every move is reversible: pressing the same tile twice cancels it.
- A hint performs one press from a valid solution.
- There are no mistake penalties — solve it in as few moves as you can.
The same rules are shown inside the app, on the puzzle’s overview screen — one tap opens the difficulty choice and how to play together, so you never have to go looking for them.
Good if you want…
- No reading and one rule to learn
- A puzzle with nothing to lose
- Something quick that still needs thinking about
