Tents Techniques

Five techniques solve every Tents puzzle on PeerPuzzles. Far from trees opens every puzzle; finished lines do most of the work; neighbours and one place left keep it going; and every arrangement finishes the hardest. Each page shows its technique on the same 10×10 puzzle from the game, at the moment it’s first needed, so you can follow one solve from page to page.

Hard level 3, the 10×10 every technique page follows. It takes 22 steps and needs all five techniques.

How many of the game’s levels need each one, out of 50 in each track:

Technique	Easy 6×6	Medium 8×8	Hard 10×10
Far from trees	50	50	50
Finished lines	50	50	50
Neighbours	20	44	49
One place left	4	21	43
Every arrangement	0	16	50

“Needs” means the hints, which always use the simplest technique that works, used it at least once. For all five in one place, with another worked puzzle, see how to solve Tents.

Hard level 3, solved.

Guides

Tents: Grass Far From TreesThe first move in every Tents and Trees puzzle: a square with no tree beside it can't hold a tent, so it's grass. With a real example.
Tents: Finished Rows and ColumnsThe Tents counting technique: a row or column with all its tents is grass everywhere else, and one with exactly enough open squares is all tents. With a real example.
Tents: Neighbours (Tents Never Touch)Tents never touch, not even at a corner, so every square around a tent is grass. With a real example from a 10×10.
Tents: One Place Left for a TreeWhen a Tents and Trees tree has only one square left beside it that could hold a tent, its tent goes there. How to spot it, with a real example.
Tents: Every Arrangement of a RowList every way a Tents row or column can hold its tents. Whatever every way rules out is grass, even in the next row. The key technique for hard Tents and Trees puzzles, with a real example.
