Medium Aquarium — what to expect

Medium Aquarium expands to 8×8 with 7 to 9 aquariums, and keeps easy’s generous clues — the bigger board is the whole step. Most of it still comes off the edge: when a clue is 0 the line is dry, when it matches the grid size the line fills, and a row needing exactly N more cells with N spots left fills all of them. Aquariums do start sharing rows and columns, so decisions begin to carry.

How to play Aquarium

  • The grid is divided into tanks. Pour water into them.
  • Water settles level: inside one tank it fills from the bottom up, never leaving a gap.
  • So if a cell holds water, every cell of that tank below it holds water too.
  • The number beside each row and above each column counts its filled cells.
  • A 0 means that line stays completely dry. A number equal to the line length means it all fills.
  • Every puzzle has one solution, reachable by logic alone.
