Your goal

Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Take a moment to understand the current position.

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

Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.

A useful example

Clue 2 1 requires a run of two, a blank separator, and a run of one. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Check the stated objective.

Watch out for this

Do not merge two separate runs. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
