Today is the day Senegal celebrates independence, though the actual day for the foundation of the modern country is a bit more complicated than that. Its national flower is said to be the African Baobab, Adansonia digitata. If it is, then it's an excellent choice. It was difficult to get into a victory haiku, but I dropped the mention of a season and got it in, as you'll see if you share your result on social media.

How to Play

Six plants fill each row
each column, each box of six
no bloom may repeat

Tap an empty cell
then choose your plant from below
watch the garden grow

Or pick a plant first
then tap the cells where it goes
faster hands plant more

Red borders will warn
when two alike share a line
rethink and replant

Ticked plants rest complete
all six placed in rightful soil
fewer choices left

The clock starts to run
the moment your first plant falls
how swift is your hand?

Every row, column & box needs all six plants
0:00

Select a plant, then tap cells

0/36 planted

Two ways to play: Tap an empty cell then pick a plant, or select a plant below then tap cells to place it.
