01
One per row, column & area
Place exactly one character in every row, every column and every bold-bordered area. Fill the board with no violations to clear the stage.
Basics
Areas are outlined with thick borders

How to play
02
No touching
Charas can never sit next to each other — not vertically, horizontally or diagonally. Any contact within the surrounding 8 cells is a violation.
Diagonal contact is the easiest to miss
03
Sample charas
Charas marked with 🔒 are pre-placed in their correct spots as samples. They cannot be moved — use them as footholds to fill in the rest. Higher levels give fewer samples.
Hint
Look around the samples for your first move
04
Eliminate with × memos
Tapping a cell cycles × → chara → empty. Mark cells you have ruled out with × to narrow down the candidates.
Memo
× marks are just memos and never affect your score
05
Mistakes add +5s
Placing a chara on a spot that breaks a rule turns it red on the spot and adds +5s to your total time. It is not a game over, but check before you place.
+5s
Random tapping makes your time heavier
06
Stuck? Use a hint
The Hint button auto-marks every cell that definitely cannot hold a chara with × and locks it. But each use adds a big +30s penalty — a last resort when you truly cannot solve it.
+30s
The more you solve yourself, the faster your time
07
Time attack
Your elapsed time to clear is your score. Boards are randomly generated every play and always have exactly one solution.
Unique
A new board is generated every time you play

Abilities you'll build
Processing speed
Scanning the whole board's constraints to spot the next forced cell trains processing speed.
Working memory
You hold several row, column and area conditions in mind at once, which trains working memory.
Reasoning
Narrowing down where charas can and cannot go through step-by-step elimination trains logical reasoning.
Self-control
You must resist placing on a hunch and proceed from confirmed cells, which trains decision control.
