You are given an $n \times n$ grid. Some of its squares are white, some are gray. Your goal is to place $n$ crosses on white cells so that each row and each column contains exactly one cross.

Here is an example of such a grid, including a possible solution.

\newcommand{\bx}[2]{
	\draw[
		line width = 1.5mm
	]
		(#1 + 0.3, #2 + 0.3) -- (#1 + 0.7, #2 + 0.7)
		(#1 + 0.7, #2 + 0.3) -- (#1 + 0.3, #2 + 0.7);
}

\newcommand{\dk}[2]{
	\draw[
		line width = 0mm,
		fill = gray
	]
		(#1, #2) --
		(#1 + 1, #2) --
		(#1 + 1, #2 + 1) --
		(#1, #2 + 1);
}

\begin{center}
\begin{tikzpicture}[
	scale = 0.8
]

		% Dark squares
		\dk{0}{2}
		\dk{1}{0}
		\dk{1}{1}
		\dk{1}{2}
		\dk{1}{4}
		\dk{2}{2}
		\dk{2}{4}
		\dk{3}{0}
		\dk{3}{1}
		\dk{3}{3}
		\dk{3}{4}
		\dk{4}{3}
		\dk{4}{1}


		% Base grid
		\foreach \x in {0,...,5} {
			\draw[line width = 0.4mm]
				(0, \x) -- (5, \x)
				(\x, 0) -- (\x, 5);
		}

		% X marks
		\bx{0}{4}
		\bx{1}{3}
		\bx{2}{1}
		\bx{3}{2}
		\bx{4}{0}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{center}
