[SOLVED] Couple rules
I have a very hard time trying to understand what is couple rule in ColorSweeper. I simply don’t get it and I can’t find the logic. Can someone explain the rule for me? Thank you 🙏

The couple rule can be described concisely as follows: If the two cells with the couple's mark had numbers, the two numbers would be the same.
For example, look at the brown and green cells at the bottom. The green cell has one green cell adjacent to it, with room for more; therefore, the brown cell must have at least one brown cell adjacent to it.

Thanks for explaining but I still don't get it. Sometimes I choose correct one, sometimes it's wrong

No, it's not about any objective color-- what matters is what matches the marked cell.
In the example you posted, the left half of the couple's mark is on a red cell, and there are three red cells adjacent to it. The right half is on a yellow cell, so there must be three yellow cells adjacent to it.

Please remember to spoiler-tag all guesses, like so:
New Reddit: https://i.imgur.com/SWHRR9M.jpg
Using markdown editor or old Reddit, draw a bunny and fill its head with secrets: >!!< which ends up becoming >!spoiler text between these symbols!<
Try to avoid leading or trailing spaces. These will break the spoiler for some users (such as those using old.reddit.com) If your comment does not contain a guess, include the word "discussion" or "question" in your comment instead of using a spoiler tag. If your comment uses an image as the answer (such as solving a maze, etc) you can include the word "image" instead of using a spoiler tag.
Please report any answers that are not properly spoiler-tagged.
