When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Notice the feedback after each input.
What you need to achieve
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.
Work through the instructions
- 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.
Your inputs
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. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
An example to follow
Clue 2 1 requires a run of two, a blank separator, and a run of one. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Notice the change in the playing area.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Do not merge two separate runs. Compare the situation with the worked example. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
