An idea for your next attempt

Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Refer to the controls when needed.

The goal to keep in mind

Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

Start here and follow along

  1. Cycle a square between filled, crossed and blank.
  2. Keep separate runs apart by at least one blank.
  3. Combine row and column deductions.
  4. Check puzzle verifies the finished grid.

Using the playing area

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. Check any mode label before starting.

Work through an example

Clue 2 1 requires a run of two, a blank separator, and a run of one. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Read the matching step again.

Where a round can go wrong

Do not merge two separate runs. Compare the situation with the worked example. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
