Solving boards 

Zingles has a lightning fast board solver built in. Simply choose the Solve board menu 

option and Zingles will complete the board, displaying the solution.  

Solving external boards 

If you wish to solve a board obtained externally simply create a game that initially contains 
81 blanks – choose the ‘blank’ level. You may either use the current game board or choose 

to create a new game from the game list view. Place the pieces as per external game on 
the board squares. Once you have entered the pieces simply choose the Solve board menu 

option. 
 

Note that depending on the exact rules being used there may be multiple solutions to an 
external board. Zingles will only find one solution. 

Layouts and piece sets 

Zingles contains a number of boards, layouts and piece sets. Since Zingles is a game of logic 

it does not require that pieces are numerical, simply that there are 9 different pieces. For 
a challenge or simply because you may prefer, use the Switch pieces menu option to 

choose between the different numeric, alphabetic or coloured piece sets.  Any piece set 
can be used on any layout.  

 
Similarly Zingles provides a number of different boards on which you can play plus a 

number of layouts that are able to display additional information. Use the Switch view 
menu option to change between the available boards and layouts. For example the screen 

shot below displays the board plus analysis information. 

 

 

 

The region to the top right of the board displays  

  the legal moves for the current row 
  the legal moves for the current column 
  the legal moves for the current sub-grid 

 
The region to the bottom right of the board summarizes the information from the top to 

produce a list of the possible moves for the current square. If you are playing games where 
the diagonals also need to contain unique pieces the summarized list of legal moves will 

take that into account.  

Next game 

You can start a new game by selecting the Next game menu option in the Board view. If the 
current game is not complete you will be asked to confirm that you wish to resign from 

playing the current game. Note that the current game will be replaced by the next game. If 
you want to keep the current game use the New game menu option from the game list view 

to create a different instance of a Zingles board.  
 

Zingles is able to generate an unlimited number of games. Zingles supports 4 levels of play
