The goal to keep in mind
Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Take a moment to understand the current position.
The steps to play
- 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.
The controls to know
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. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
One way to understand the rules
Clue 2 1 requires a run of two, a blank separator, and a run of one. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Take a moment to compare.
Watch out for this
Do not merge two separate runs. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
