An idea for your next attempt
When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Keep the objective visible.
Your objective
Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Notice how the game responds to your input.
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.
How your actions work
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use one clear input at a time.
Try this 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. Verify the rule before continuing.
Pay attention to this rule
Do not merge two separate runs. Compare the situation with the worked example. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
