What the game asks you to do
Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. 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.

Keep this in mind
Do not merge two separate runs. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
