Lights Out in Just One More, Lighting the Hearth

How to play Lights Out

A row of cozy lanterns on a fireplace mantle, half of them dim. Tap one and it flips with its neighbors. Light every lantern to settle the hearth.

  1. Light Every Lantern

    The mantle starts with a mix of lit and dim lanterns. Your goal is a fully glowing row, every lantern on at the same time.

  2. Tap Flips the Cross

    Tap any lantern and it flips. Its neighbors above, below, left, and right flip too. Lit becomes dim, dim becomes lit.

  3. Plan the Pattern

    Each tap affects up to five lanterns. Think in pairs and small clusters. Chasing one light usually puts another out.

  4. Settle the Hearth

    Lighting every lantern wins the round and stretches your streak. Tapping the same lantern twice cancels itself, so order rarely matters; efficiency does.

Four difficulty levels

Every level keeps its own streak, best and high score, so climbing costs you nothing.

Easy
A 3×3 mantle. A handful of lanterns to settle.
Medium
A 4×4 mantle. The familiar lights-out grid.
Hard
A 5×5 mantle. The classic Lights Out puzzle.
Very Hard
A 6×6 mantle. A long evening's work.

2 ways to play Lights Out
