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.
Controls

A useful example
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. Take a moment to compare.
Watch out for this
Do not merge two separate runs. A different version of the game may use a different rule. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
