An idea for your next attempt
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. 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. Read that aim before choosing your first action. The example below illustrates a decision.
The order of play
- 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.
Keyboard and screen controls
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. Check any mode label before starting.
Try this 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. Choose a deliberate next step.
Where a round can go wrong
Do not merge two separate runs. Compare the situation with the worked example. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
