How to play

  1. Read the clues

    A row marked 3 1 has a run of three filled squares, a gap of at least one, then a run of one.

  2. Fill what must be filled

    A run of 4 in five squares covers the middle three wherever it starts, so fill those first.

  3. Cross out the rest

    When a line is complete, mark the leftover squares with an X so you never fill them by mistake.

Keep going line by line, and the picture slowly reveals itself.
