LinkedIn Tango #612 Answer & Analysis

Row 5 is already fixed in the start board, so use it as the reference row. Because a 6x6 Tango board needs 3 Suns and 3 Moons in every row and column, that row immediately puts pressure on the remaining cells in each column.

Row 4 has a Cross clue between its middle cells. Combined with the no-three-in-a-row rule and the fact that the row still has to balance to 3 Suns and 3 Moons, the middle of row 4 is forced into the alternating pattern that the solved board shows.

Row 3 has an Equal clue linking its middle pair. Once the column counts are applied, those two cells must match, and the only arrangement that works is the same-symbol pair shown in the solution. That also helps lock the rest of the row into balance.

Row 2 starts with a Moon and ends with a Sun, so its four open cells must split evenly between Suns and Moons. The Cross clue in the middle forces the pair to be opposite, and the no-three rule removes the remaining ambiguity. That produces the solved row 2 pattern.

With the middle rows fixed, the remaining top and bottom cells are forced by column balance. Fill the last open spaces so that every row and column reaches exactly 3 Suns and 3 Moons, then do a final scan for any three-in-a-row violations and make sure every Equal/Cross clue matches the finished board.
