How to play

Click a square to change that light and each immediately adjacent light (up, down, left and right). Lit lights turn off; dark lights turn on. The aim is to make the entire grid dark.

Every new board is made by applying legal moves to an all-off board, so at least one solution exists. The hint identifies a move in a valid solution from the current position.
