LinkedIn Tango #622 Answer & Analysis

Use the starting doubles in the top rows to make the simplest no-three deductions. Row 1 starts with two Moons, so the third cell must be a Sun. Row 2 has two Suns in a row, so the next cell must be a Moon. Row 3 also has two Suns at the start, so its third cell must be a Moon. Column 2 also becomes fixed in row 4 once you apply the same logic.

Now focus on the connected clues around rows 4, 5, and 6. The Cross clues force row 4 to be opposite row 5 in the two rightmost columns, while the Equal clues tie row 5 to row 6 in those same positions. That makes the lower-right area behave like a small linked chain.

Once row 5 is fixed, the Cross clues above it immediately determine row 4 in the same columns. After that, row 5 gets one more forced cell from its own Equal link, and the bottom row starts to take shape naturally.

With the right side anchored, row and column balance finish most of the bottom half. Each row must end with exactly 3 Suns and 3 Moons, and each column must do the same. That forces the remaining cells in rows 4, 5, and 6.

The last open cells in rows 1 to 3 now fall into place from row balance and column balance. Once these are filled, the whole board satisfies the Tango rules and all edge clues.
