💖 hitori(6) — the Games Manual page, but make it slay 💖

okay bestie, so you found yourself in the Games Manual section of the manual pages, staring at hitori(6), and you're like "what is this and why do I care" — don't worry, I got you. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

hitori — plays the game of hitori 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

hitori

that's it. that's the whole invocation. no flags, no arguments, no nonsense. iconic behaviour honestly. 👑

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so Hitori puzzles hand you a grid absolutely stuffed with numbers, and your whole mission — your main character quest — is to remove numbers so that no row and no column has duplicates. no row, no column, periodt. 🦋

This particular implementation? Lowkey stacked:

• it has undo/redo support (because we all make choices and sometimes we must take them back 😭)
• it can give hints when you're staring at the grid like 👁️👄👁️
• and it generates puzzles up to 10×10 cells large ✨

The full documentation is available through the program's Help menu. Fr fr, if you want more, that's where it lives. 🧚
