Shakashaka: Cuneus

Shakashaka: triangles that leave only rectangles

The rules

  1. In any white cell, place a black triangle filling one corner half — or leave the cell empty.
  2. A number on a black cell counts the triangles in the cells directly beside it.
  3. Every white area left over is a rectangle — upright, or turned by 45° like a diamond.

How to play here

Tap near a corner of a white cell for the triangle in that corner, in the middle to mark the cell empty; the same tap again clears it. Drag to repeat the mark.
