The challenge in front of you

Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.

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 your actions work

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. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

One way to understand the rules

Clue 2 1 requires a run of two, a blank separator, and a run of one. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Choose a deliberate next step.

One detail worth checking

Do not merge two separate runs. A different version of the game may use a different rule. 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.
