How to play
Find the picture: the numbers give, in order, the blocks of black cells in each row and column.
Example
The numbers give the blocks of shaded cells in each row (left to right) and column (top to bottom), with at least one white cell between blocks.
Tips to get better
- Start with the big numbers: a block of 7 in a row of 10 always fills the 4 middle cells (the overlap technique).
- A row whose blocks plus the required gaps add up to its width fills completely.
- Mark the cells that are surely empty: they split the row and unlock the crossing columns.
- Alternate rows and columns: each cell found one way gives information the other way.
What this game trains
- Logical reasoning: deduce the solution from the rules, without guessing.
- Visuospatial perception: picture shapes, positions and paths.
