A focus for your next round
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Notice the feedback after each input.
The goal to keep in mind
Shade repeated numbers while keeping black cells separated and all white cells connected. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Start with a deliberate move.
A walkthrough of the rules
- Click a cell to shade, mark or clear it.
- No unshaded number may repeat in a row or column.
- Black cells cannot share an edge.
- Check puzzle verifies duplicates and connectivity.
Getting comfortable with the 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.
One way to understand the rules
Two identical unshaded numbers in one row cannot both remain. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Look for the relevant detail.
A common point of confusion
Removing every duplicate can disconnect white cells. Compare the situation with the worked example. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
