Practice beyond the first move
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Use the example to check your reasoning.
What you need to achieve
Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
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.
Your inputs
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
Put the rules into context
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. Read the matching step again.
A mistake to avoid
Do not merge two separate runs. Compare the situation with the worked example. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
