Understand the basics of Hitori
Make Hitori your next activity in the game library. Shade repeated numbers while keeping black cells separated and all white cells connected. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Play twelve 5×5 puzzles. Any shaded starting cells remain fixed.

What the game asks you to do
Shade repeated numbers while keeping black cells separated and all white cells connected. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. The example below illustrates a decision.
From the start of a round
- Click a cell to shade, mark or clear it.
- No unshaded number may repeat in a row or column.
- Black cells cannot share an edge.
- Check puzzle verifies duplicates and connectivity.
Input guidance
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
Try this example
Two identical unshaded numbers in one row cannot both remain. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Verify the rule before continuing.
Watch out for this
Removing every duplicate can disconnect white cells. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
