A small practice goal
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. Refer to the controls when needed.
What you are aiming for
Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Start with a deliberate move.
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.
How to interact with the game
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Look at the feedback after the action.
See the idea in action
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. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Watch out for this
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.
