Six lanterns are lit. One is in the wrong square. Can you find it—and move it to the right one?

Here’s your garden. In [Yodoku](https://zorse.io/games/yodoku), every row, column and color needs exactly one lantern. Lanterns can’t touch, even diagonally.

![A six-by-six garden with top-right and bottom-left cutouts. Region letters A through F appear on every tile. Lanterns are at row 1 column 1, row 2 column 3, row 3 column 6, row 4 column 2, row 5 column 4 and row 6 column 6. A text version of the board follows.](https://zorse.io/assets/yodoku-wrong-lantern/challenge.163dc088.svg)

Move just one lantern. The numbers let you name its row and column; letters identify the colors.
