How Sentinels works

Every row gets one sentinel. So does every column, and so does every coloured region. The catch is that no two of them may stand next to each other, and that includes diagonally.

  • Exactly one sentinel in each row.
  • Exactly one sentinel in each column.
  • Exactly one sentinel in each coloured region.
  • No two sentinels touch, not even corner to corner.
