Your goal
Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
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. Use the control method described here for this activity. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
A useful 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. Read the matching step again.
Watch out for this
Do not merge two separate runs. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
