The daily grid

How Tinta works

• The grid (5×5 to 7×7) is filled with three or four colours: teal, amber, rose and, on Saturdays, violet.
• Badges on the edge of a row or column give the exact number of cells of that colour in the line. A badge fades once reached and turns red when exceeded.
• An = marker between two neighbouring cells means the same colour, a ≠ marker two different colours. Locked cells are revealed from the start.
• There is exactly one solution, reachable by deduction alone. A full but wrong grid counts as a mistake; no mistakes earns three stars.
• Use the pencil to cross out colours that cannot go in an empty cell.
