Seeker: Hide and Seek

A fox is hiding in the garden. Catch it. SEEKER is hide and seek on a 9×9 board of moonlit flagstones. Tap a square to put a lantern down. You have five. A lantern glows when the fox is in one of the eight squares around it, corners included, and never the square it stands on. A dark lantern rules those eight out, which is just as useful. Hold a square before you place and you see the eight it would watch. Then you have three moves, four on Hard. Pick a lantern up and put it down somewhere else, with a tap or a drag. Every report still counts after its lantern has moved on. Land a lantern on the fox and you win on the spot: 5,000 points, more than any other ending can pay. Out of moves, or sure of yourself early? Name the square you think it is under. A correct name is a good finish, but it is not the catch. ONE GARDEN A DAY Everyone gets the same hiding place, worked out from the date.…
