One thing to notice as you play
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Your goal
Shade repeated numbers while keeping black cells separated and all white cells connected. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
How to proceed
- 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.
How to use 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. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
See the idea in action
Two identical unshaded numbers in one row cannot both remain. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Consider the next action carefully.
An important reminder
Removing every duplicate can disconnect white cells. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
