How to play

- Place every crown to solve the board.
Controls
- Tap once to mark X (no crown), tap again for a crown.
Techniques
Single-cell region
A color region reduced to one open cell must hold its crown. Place it, then X everything that crown touches.
Row and column sweeps
Each crown claims its whole row and column. After every placement, X the full row, column, and the diagonal neighbors โ the next forced cell usually appears immediately.
Region shadows
If every open cell of a region sits in the same row or column, that row or column's crown MUST be there โ X it everywhere else, even before you know the exact cell.

Tip ยท Find a row, column, or region with only one open cell, then mark the squares its crown rules out.
