Read how far light travels through a hex grid and reason out which cells are solid and which are clear.
Was this fun?
How to play
Edge beams report how far light shines through clear cells before a solid one stops it, and number clues tell you how many solid neighbours a cell has. Combine the readings to mark every hexagon correctly, with no guessing required.
Beam clues show the light's travel distance through clear hexes

Tips & strategy
Start where a beam reading and a number clue overlap to lock in a certain cell
A beam that stops short tells you exactly where the first solid hex sits
Mark confirmed clear cells too, since they constrain the neighbouring counts
