The Ripple Effect puzzle is visually similar to Suguru, i.e. numbers from 1 to 5 distributed in regions of size 1 to 5 in a rectangular grid. The difference is that in Suguru, a number in a cell must be different from the numbers in the neighboring cells around that cell, whereas in Ripple Effect the number of cell a number must not be in depends on the number in question. For example, if a cell contains a 4, then the four cell to the right, left, above and below it must not contain a 4. Note that unlike Suguru, this does not apply to diagonal cells. You must therefore fill each region with the numbers according to the size of the region (a region of size 1 will have the number 1, a region of size 2 will have the numbers 1 and 2 and so on up to regions of size 5).
This constraint, linked to the number of neighboring cells a number must not occupy, brings a new challenge as well as a certain amount of fun to solving this game.
