Tents Help
Rules / Objectives Summary
- You have to find all of the hidden tents.
- Each tent is attached to one tree (so there are as many tents as there are trees).
- The numbers across the top and down the side tell you how many tents are in the respective row or column.
- A tent can only be found horizontally or vertically adjacent to a tree.
- Tents are never next to each other (vertically, horizontally, or diagonally)
See the Basic Ideas or Walkthrough for extra tips and tricks.

Basic Ideas
- The numbers across the top and down the side tell you how many tents are in the respective Row or Column.
- Each tree has one tent attached (either horizontally or vertically), and each tent is attached to only one tree. However, a tent may be adjacent to more than one tree.
- A tent can only be found horizontally or vertically adjacent to the tree it's attached to.
- Tents are never placed next to each other, neither vertically, horizontally, nor diagonally.
- Any Row/Column with a 0 clue, means that there are no tents in that Row/Column, so we can mark all of those squares as grass. Any square that is not next to a tree cannot be a tent, and must be grass.
- You may then find Rows or Columns whose tents can only go in one place. Always remember to mark squares horizontally, vertically AND diagonally next to a tent as grass. It might also help if you tick a tree when you know that you've found its tent.
Walkthrough

Step 1
This is the start of the puzzle.
Solve this puzzle for yourself at the same time.
|
|
Step 2
From the 0 clues, these Rows and Columns cannot have any tents, so all of these squares are grass.
|
|
Step 3
These squares have no trees available for tents, so they must all be grass.
|
|
Step 4
This is the only available place for the tree in Row 5, we can also tick the tree just above it to show that we've dealt with it.
|
|
Step 5
These are the only squares for the tents in Column 1.
|
|
Step 6
This square must be grass as the tree next to it already has its tent.
|
|
Step 7
This square must be the remaining tent in Row 1.
|
|
Step 8
We've found all of the tents for Column 5, so this square must be grass.
|
|
Step 9
This square must be a tent to satisfy both Row 3 and Column 3.
