Tap a cell to paint it.

Pick a color from the strip above the grid — skip this if the puzzle only has one color. Tap a cell to fill it with that color; tap it again to clear it back to empty.

All rules
Rule 01Tap a cell to paint it.

Pick a color from the strip above the grid — skip this if the puzzle only has one color. Tap a cell to fill it with that color; tap it again to clear it back to empty.

Rule 02Each number is that line's runs, in order — and its color.

A row or column clue like "3 1" means: reading along that line, a run of 3 filled cells, a gap, then a run of 1 — never two touching blocks read as one run. When a puzzle has more than one color, each number is colored to match the part of the picture it describes, so you always know which color goes where before you place it.

Rule 03Mark a cell you know is empty.

Right-click, or shift+space on the keyboard, marks a cell ✕ — a note to yourself, not a fill. It never counts toward the picture, and never changes which color you'll paint next. Tapping a marked cell paints it with your active color, the same as tapping any empty one.

Rule 04A finished line fades.

Once a row or column's filled cells already match its clue, that clue dims — a quick way to see which lines you're already done with, even if a few empty cells around them are still unmarked.

Pick a color, then tap paints or clears it · right-click or shift+space jumps straight to ✕ · keyboard: digits pick a color, arrows move, space paints, shift+space marks
