Follow these playing steps

- Keep separate runs apart by at least one blank.
- Combine row and column deductions.
- Check puzzle verifies the finished grid.
How to interact with the game
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
An example before you play
Clue 2 1 requires a run of two, a blank separator, and a run of one. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Verify the rule before continuing.
Notice this detail
Do not merge two separate runs. Compare the situation with the worked example. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
