Level 2 guide: Spain (easy)

Late dinners, long summers and one very unfinished church. A 5×5 board. Colors are named in the steps below, and rows and columns are counted from the top left starting at 1. This guide spoils the solution, so try the level first.

Play level 2

The board

Step by step

6 deductions lead to the 5 stamps. Each placed stamp also rules out its row, column, touching cells and the rest of its region.

1. The green region has only one cell left: row 3, column 3. Place the stamp there.
2. The rose region can only hold its stamp in row 1, so every other cell in row 1 cannot hold a stamp (2 cells ruled out).
3. Column 4 has only one cell left: row 5. Place the stamp there.
4. The amber region has only one cell left: row 2, column 5. Place the stamp there.
5. The teal region has only one cell left: row 4, column 1. Place the stamp there.
6. The rose region has only one cell left: row 1, column 2. Place the stamp there.
