Tips for 10x10 grids

Big grids reward patience. Do a full pass over all rows, then all columns, and only fill cells you can prove. On a 10x10 board a single crossed-out cell often unlocks a whole line, so mark empties as carefully as fills.

Where players go wrong on Level 59

  • The longest line is Column 2 with the clue 6. The overlap rule fixes 2 of its cells before anything else; players who start elsewhere miss that head start.
  • Row 1 has the fewest filled cells (2). Cross out its empty cells early; they unlock 1 columns.
  • The last line the logic finishes is Row 9. If you are stuck there, every other line is already done, so recount its clue 4 1.
