About this challenge
Firefly Garden is challenge 2 in the ten-part Lights Out collection. It uses the same core rules as the other challenges in this family, with its own settings: board width: 3 × 3; shuffle steps: 4. Choose it when you want a easy round, or use the previous and next buttons to adjust the challenge.
Rules and controls
Switch every tile off in Firefly Garden; each tap also changes its orthogonal neighbours. Click or tap a square to toggle a cross of lights. Your result appears above the board when the round ends. Restart begins a new round; it does not continue the previous board. The game keeps a small record of completed rounds in this browser.
Make your next round better
Try working from the top row down. A tap on the next row can correct a light above it. Tapping the same tile twice cancels the move. Order does not matter, so keep track of which tiles you have used. If the current challenge feels too demanding, go back one level and focus on the basic pattern before increasing the pace or board size.
Playing on a phone
The board adapts to the width of your screen. Use the displayed buttons or direct touch controls. For word and number inputs, tap the text field to bring up the keyboard. Put your phone in portrait orientation for the clearest view of the controls. Timing games may feel different across devices because screens and input hardware respond at different speeds.
