Work through a collection of twelve 5×5 picture puzzles.
Try a more deliberate round
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Keep the objective visible.
What counts as success
Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Keep the controls in easy reach.
The playing sequence
- 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 use the 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. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
Learn from a sample situation
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. Choose a deliberate next step.
One detail worth checking
Do not merge two separate runs. Check the rule before repeating the action. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
