How to Play

  • Grid Size: The puzzle is played on an 5x5 grid
  • Numbers: Each cell in the grid contains a number between 1 and 5.
  • Shading: The goal is to shade some of the cells (turn them black) to meet the following criteria:
  • No Duplicates: Eliminate (black out) duplicate numbers in each row and column so that no number appears more than once in any row or column.
  • Connectivity: The remaining unshaded numbers must form a single connected region (orthogonally adjacent, not diagonally).
  • No Adjacent Black Cells: Blacked-out cells cannot be adjacent to each other horizontally or vertically (diagonal adjacency is allowed).
