How to solve the daily WitRally puzzle without guessing
Every WitRally puzzle has exactly one answer, and you can reach it by logic alone. If you ever feel the urge to guess, there is a move you have not spotted yet. These three habits find it.
Start with pairs. Whenever two squares side by side in a row or column hold the same symbol, the squares at both ends of that pair must be the other symbol, because three in a row is never allowed. The same goes for a gap: if two equal symbols sit with one empty square between them, that square must be the opposite symbol.
Next, count. Every row and column holds exactly as many dots as rings. When a row already has all its dots, every empty square left in it is a ring, and the other way round. Scan the rows and columns that are closest to full first; they give you the most for the least effort.
Finally, compare. No two rows may be identical and no two columns may be identical. When a row is nearly finished and a finished row matches it except for the last two squares, those two squares are forced to differ from it. This rule is rarely needed early, but it often unlocks the last few squares.
If you get stuck, a hint adds 15 seconds to your time and locks one square in place, so use it when the clock matters less than finishing. Rule breaks turn squares red as you play, which is a gentle way to catch a slip early.
