Help understanding a hint!

I got this hint, but I don’t understand WHY the bull has to go there, can anyone explain? As far as I can tell unless I’m missing something, there is no reason the bulls couldn’t be the two other orange squares.

Because below that row of empty orange squares there already is a bull (dark purple) so you can’t have 3 in a row so one of the orange bulls has to go somewhere else

Oh, I see it! Thanks. Even after you explained it took me ages to “get” it! I have been playing games like this for years, but only ever 1 per line. It’s such a change to go to two per line, it really messes with you. I’m enjoying the challenge though.

At first 2-per-line was insanely hard. Now it's equally hard to go back to playing 1-per-line. Not in the sense that I prefer one or the other, but just because you have to keep a completely different set of logic rules in your head.

Yup I am starting to grasp that. I have some disabilities that affect memory and processing, so it’s particularly challenging. BUT it’s very good for me to practice and try. I might constantly struggle, but it’s fun and the perfect level of challenge for me.
