A small practice goal
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Keep the objective visible.
What you are aiming for
Shade repeated numbers while keeping black cells separated and all white cells connected. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
The order of play
- 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.
Using the playing area
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. Look at the feedback after the action.
Put the rules into context
Two identical unshaded numbers in one row cannot both remain. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Take a moment to compare.
One detail worth checking
Removing every duplicate can disconnect white cells. Compare the situation with the worked example. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
