Akari is coming soon

Akari, also published as Light Up, is a Nikoli puzzle about lighting a gallery. Its Japanese name means “art museum”: every corner needs light, but the lamps mustn’t shine on each other.

How it works

• Place lamps in white squares. A lamp lights its whole row and column until a black square stops the light.
• Every white square must be lit, and no lamp may shine on another lamp.
• A number on a black square says how many lamps sit right beside it.
