How to play
You complete Yosenabe when every ingredient reaches a permitted pot, each pot sum equals its clue, and no two ingredient paths cross. The engine evaluates the full position rather than relying on a visual shortcut or an unsupported solvability claim.
- Yosenabe opens from a versioned seeded position built for numbered ingredients moved along straight paths into pots whose totals must match, with movement paths kept separate. Its game ID, rules profile, and deal identity are stored together so restart recreates the same opening without a server request.
- Every Yosenabe action is checked against the current board, available material, and this defining restriction: an ingredient travels only in one straight orthogonal direction and contributes its number to exactly one destination pot. Invalid, stale, or post-terminal actions leave the position unchanged.

Strategy tips
- A practical Yosenabe plan is to preserve several legal continuations around numbered ingredients moved along straight paths into pots whose totals must match, with movement paths kept separate. Use the deterministic hint to inspect one legal action, then compare how it affects the documented objective before committing.
- A common Yosenabe error is to ignore the boundary rule that an ingredient travels only in one straight orthogonal direction and contributes its number to exactly one destination pot. Undo is useful for studying that decision, while restart deliberately preserves the original seeded position.
- Near the end of Yosenabe, recount the remaining obligations needed until every ingredient reaches a permitted pot, each pot sum equals its clue, and no two ingredient paths cross. Check the boundary rule after every final placement or transfer because terminal status is enforced immediately.
