Frequently asked questions

How do you play Crown Court?
The grid is split into coloured regions. Put exactly one crown in every row, every column and every region. Crowns cannot touch — not even on a diagonal corner. Tap a cell to cycle empty → ✕ → crown, or drag to mark empties.
What counts as a mistake?
Only Check presses that find a conflicting crown count. Wrong placements are not scored until you check, so you can think freely.
Is today's puzzle the same for everyone?
Yes. Crown Court is generated from the calendar date (US Eastern), so everyone gets the same board. Open a past day with ?d=YYYY-MM-DD.
