@CeriseTalis designed [ionic-squares] and shared it at [this page|https://plus.cerisetalis.com/penpa/ionic-squares]. Below is an interactive port. All solutions are unique.


## Original rules
The original rules require 1 dot per square and 1 square per dot (1 • 1 ■)

## Expanded rules

The rules were expanded on 02/12/2022, with the possibility of having more than one dot per square (parameter X), and even more than one square containing a dot (parameter Y), abbreviated as ´´ x • y ■ ´´

### 2 dots per square, 1 square per dot (2 • 1 ■)
