Review a difficult moment
When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Your goal
Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
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.
Controls
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
A useful example
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. Check the stated objective.
Watch out for this
Do not merge two separate runs. A different version of the game may use a different rule. 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.
