About Lights Out

Pressing one light flips the ones around it, so progress often looks like going backwards. Solving it is about the order you press in, not how many presses you make.

How to play Lights Out

Turn every light on the grid off.

Controls

· Tap a cell to toggle it — its neighbours flip too.

Rules & scoring

· Scored on moves used; clearing the grid advances you to a harder scramble.

Tips

· Chase the lights downwards row by row, then fix the last row from the top.

Retro inspiration

Grid-of-lights puzzles arrived with cheap electronics in the early eighties and never really left.
