Practice beyond the first move
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Refer to the controls when needed.
The objective of a round

How a round unfolds
- 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.
