Hoot & Fox Get the app
Free on iPhone · No wifi needed

Balance the grove.
Three rules, no guessing.

A cosy binary logic puzzle, also known as Binairo or Takuzu, and the puzzle behind LinkedIn's Tango. Fill every row and column with as many owls as foxes, never three alike in a row. Hints that explain the move, a new puzzle every day, and nothing that shouts at you.

Works offline · Free · No subscriptions, ever

Simple rules. Deep logic.

Equal owls and foxes in every line, never three in a row. Grids grow from 6×6 to 12×12, with a 14×14 Weekly Grand in the app, and add = and × links as you go.

Three foxes in a row? Too crowded!

Hints that teach, not tell.

Pip highlights the line, explains the deduction, and only fills the cell if you ask. Every technique lands in your Field Guide.

Questions

Is it the same puzzle as the app?

Yes. The Daily on this site and in the iPhone app are generated from the same date seed, so everyone gets the same grid. Streaks, hearts, leagues and the Burrow live only in the app.

Is there an unlimited mode?

Yes — Unlimited here in the browser, and Endless in the app.

Is it free?

Yes. The app is free to play, with occasional ad breaks between puzzles. A one-time £4.99 purchase removes them for good, and optional acorn packs are there if you'd like more acorns sooner. Nothing you buy changes the difficulty, and there are no subscriptions. The browser puzzles here are free too.

Does it need wifi?

The app works fully offline. Leaderboards and ads need a connection; nothing else does.

Is Hoot & Fox related to LinkedIn's Tango?

No. Both are based on the classic Binairo / Takuzu puzzle. We're not affiliated with LinkedIn.
