Rate itPitch one tent beside each tree, matching the row and column counts.

Tents on BrainBashers shows a field of trees with a number beside every row and column. You place one tent next to each tree so the counts come out right, and no two tents touch, not even diagonally. Three sizes at two levels arrive every day.
About Tents (BrainBashers)
Tents is a placement puzzle set in a campsite. The grid holds trees, and there are exactly as many tents to place as there are trees. Every tent must sit directly beside its own tree, up, down, left or right, and each tree has exactly one tent of its own, though a tree may happen to stand next to two tents. Tents never touch each other, not even at a corner. The numbers along the top and side say how many tents are in each column and row.
BrainBashers, Kevin Stone's puzzle site, posts 8x8, 12x12 and 16x16 grids at Easy and Medium every day, with a 20x20 weekly special. The play page has check, answer, auto, print and restart buttons, an option to show mistakes and to show how many tents remain in each line, and an optional clock. The help page includes a walkthrough.
Puzzles change at midnight GMT or at the time zone you set, and the last four weeks remain in the date list. Random buttons give extra Easy, Medium or Hard grids beyond the daily ones. There are no adverts and no account.
It suits anyone who likes Battleships-style counting puzzles; the trees give it a friendly look and the larger grids take a good while.
On a phone the 8x8 and 12x12 grids fit the screen, but the 16x16 grid runs past the right edge, so the largest daily is easier on a desktop or tablet.

Tips
- Rows and columns with a 0 are all grass: fill them in first.
- Any square that is not beside a tree can never hold a tent.
- Squares around a placed tent, diagonals included, are grass.
- When a tree has only one free neighbour left, its tent goes there.
Questions
