You complete Sashigane when the grid is covered by non-overlapping L regions and every circle or arrow occupies its required structural position. The engine evaluates the full position rather than relying on a visual shortcut or an unsupported solvability claim.

Complete guide
Sashigane uses the independently implemented Nikoli Sashigane rules v1 profile (R460). Sashigane is a complete deterministic browser game whose distinct rules centre on a partition into L-shaped regions whose bend and arm information is fixed by circles and directional arrow clues.
Sashigane opens from a versioned seeded position built for a partition into L-shaped regions whose bend and arm information is fixed by circles and directional arrow clues. Its game ID, rules profile, and deal identity are stored together so restart recreates the same opening without a server request.
Every Sashigane action is checked against the current board, available material, and this defining restriction: each region has one right-angle bend and two straight arms; rectangles, branched regions, and multiple bends are invalid. Invalid, stale, or post-terminal actions leave the position unchanged.
You complete Sashigane when the grid is covered by non-overlapping L regions and every circle or arrow occupies its required structural position. The engine evaluates the full position rather than relying on a visual shortcut or an unsupported solvability claim. Near the end of Sashigane, recount the remaining obligations needed until the grid is covered by non-overlapping L regions and every circle or arrow occupies its required structural position. Check the boundary rule after every final placement or transfer because terminal status is enforced immediately.
A practical Sashigane plan is to preserve several legal continuations around a partition into L-shaped regions whose bend and arm information is fixed by circles and directional arrow clues. Use the deterministic hint to inspect one legal action, then compare how it affects the documented objective before committing. A common Sashigane error is to ignore the boundary rule that each region has one right-angle bend and two straight arms; rectangles, branched regions, and multiple bends are invalid. Undo is useful for studying that decision, while restart deliberately preserves the original seeded position.
Sashigane has its own runtime and save identity because its rules require a partition into L-shaped regions whose bend and arm information is fixed by circles and directional arrow clues.
each region has one right-angle bend and two straight arms; rectangles, branched regions, and multiple bends are invalid.
Sashigane stores its game ID, rules version, and seeded deal identity. Those values recreate the same opening locally without promising that the position is forced or winnable.
