The objective of a round
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.
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.
Making selections and moves
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. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Choose a deliberate next step.
Check this before moving on
Do not merge two separate runs. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
