How to play & controls
Lamplight is an Akari / Light Up logic puzzle on the Keep the Light night shell. Hang lanterns so every stone in the courtyard is lit. A lantern lights its row and column until a plinth or hedge blocks it; lanterns must never light each other; a numbered plinth says how many lanterns touch it. Forty handmade courtyards from 5×5 to 10×10, each proven to have exactly one solution, plus a seeded Daily.

Tips & saving
Start from numbered plinths with only one legal neighbour set.
A lantern that would light another lantern is always illegal — the game shows the conflict in red.
Empty corners often force a lantern or an empty mark.
