Fill the pattern described by the row and column clues.

How to play

  1. Read each row's clues from left to right and each column's from top to bottom. Each number is a run of filled squares; separate runs with at least one empty square. A 0 means no filled squares.
  2. Choose Fill, × Empty, or Erase, then tap squares. Tapping an existing mark with the same tool clears it. Right-click or press X to mark empty; arrow keys move the selection and Delete clears the selected square.
  3. Complete every required fill and remove any extra fills. Empty squares may be clear or marked ×; marking every empty square is optional.

Head-to-head rules

Complete the hidden pattern correctly before your opponent. Both players get the same puzzle and start together, with 3 minutes to finish. Completion time decides the match; fewer moves or a higher solo score do not beat an earlier correct finish. Finishes within 0.1 seconds draw. If neither player finishes before time runs out, the match is a draw.

Your moves and answers stay private. Leaving through the game controls forfeits the match; closing the page does not pause its clock.

Real-player matches update this game's own Elo rating. Daily and practice results keep their separate progress and never change Elo.
