Practice beyond the first move
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Make the next step deliberately.
Your objective
Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
The playing sequence
- 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.
Input guidance
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Check any mode label before starting.
One way to understand the rules
Clue 2 1 requires a run of two, a blank separator, and a run of one. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Notice the change in the playing area.
One detail worth checking
Do not merge two separate runs. Compare the situation with the worked example. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
