AWAI (The Space Between)

AWAI is a placement puzzle with a story. Rain has washed the marker stones out of the little garden where KIRI and friends meet. Each friend remembers a different part of it, and you put the small and large stones back so that every account fits.

KUNOICHI knows how many stones are in each column (and sometimes each row), GARA can hear the weight of each row, KIRI remembers what was in one or two squares, and MAME's record shows how many stones sit inside a box. Puzzles are generated so that exactly one placement fits, and leaving out any one friend's account would allow more than one. Across 6 chapters the garden grows from 2×2 to 5×5, and the last 5 puzzles are a time attack.

روش بازی

1. Enter a username and choose AWAI
2. Read the conversation, or tap Skip
3. Tap a friend to hear what they saw. It stays on the board, so you don't have to remember it
4. Tap a square to cycle empty → small stone → large stone. Bushes can't hold a stone
5. When every account fits, press Check. 3 wrong checks in total end the run

سازوکار سختی

The garden grows from 2×2 to 4×4 through chapter 5 and to 5×5 for the time attack. From puzzle 3 some rows or columns are left as “?”, so you have to work them out from the totals. Every puzzle was checked by a separate brute-force program: the answer fits every clue, exactly one placement fits, and every friend's account is needed.

نکات

• Start with KIRI's squares: they are fixed facts that cut down the possibilities
• A row weight of 3 means small + large or three small. Compare it with KUNOICHI's counts
• Use “?” lines last: total stones minus the known lines often tells you the missing count
• MAME's box tells you how many, not where. Combine it with a column count
• Up to puzzle 20 time doesn't count, so take as long as you need
