Make the controls familiar
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Keep the objective visible.
Your goal
Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Notice how the game responds to your input.
Step by step
- Cycle a square between filled, crossed and blank.
- Keep separate runs apart by at least one blank.
- Combine row and column deductions.
- Check puzzle verifies the finished grid.
Controls
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Check any mode label before starting.
A useful example
Clue 2 1 requires a run of two, a blank separator, and a run of one. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Consider the next action carefully.
Watch out for this
Do not merge two separate runs. Compare the situation with the worked example. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
