Step-by-step hints for Level 60
Press the button to reveal one step at a time. Each step fills or crosses out cells in a single row or column, in the order a careful player would find them.
- Step 1: Column 4 - the clues 1 1 4 1 plus one gap between blocks add up to 10, so the whole line is fixed. (7 filled, 3 crossed out)
- Step 2: Column 2 - the clue 1 5 leaves only 3 free cells, so the middle of each long block must be filled. (2 filled)
- Step 3: Column 7 - the clue 1 4 1 leaves only 2 free cells, so the middle of each long block must be filled. (2 filled)
- Step 4: Column 9 - the clue 1 5 leaves only 3 free cells, so the middle of each long block must be filled. (2 filled)
- Step 5: Row 3 - every block of 1 is already placed, so the remaining cells are empty. (9 crossed out)
- Step 6: Row 6 - every block of 1 1 1 1 is already placed, so the remaining cells are empty. (6 crossed out)
- Step 7: Row 1 - with the cells already marked, only one arrangement of 1 1 fits these positions. (2 crossed out)
- Step 8: Row 5 - with the cells already marked, only one arrangement of 2 2 fits these positions. (4 crossed out)
- Step 9: Row 7 - with the cells already marked, only one arrangement of 4 4 fits these positions. (3 filled)
- Step 10: Row 8 - with the cells already marked, only one arrangement of 4 4 fits these positions. (5 filled)
- Step 11: Row 10 - with the cells already marked, only one arrangement of 4 4 fits these positions. (5 filled)
- Step 12: Column 2 - with the cells already marked, only one arrangement of 1 5 fits these positions. (1 filled)
- Step 13: Row 9 - with the cells already marked, only one arrangement of 1 1 fits these positions. (2 crossed out)
- Step 14: Column 3 - with the cells already marked, only one arrangement of 1 1 2 1 fits these positions. (1 filled)
- Step 15: Row 2 - with the cells already marked, only one arrangement of 1 1 1 fits these positions. (1 crossed out)
- Step 16: Column 7 - with the cells already marked, only one arrangement of 1 4 1 fits these positions. (2 crossed out)
- Step 17: Column 8 - with the cells already marked, only one arrangement of 1 2 1 fits these positions. (1 crossed out)
- Step 18: Column 9 - with the cells already marked, only one arrangement of 1 5 fits these positions. (1 filled)
- Step 19: Row 9 - every block of 1 1 is already placed, so the remaining cells are empty. (3 crossed out)

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 60
- The longest line is Column 2 with the clue 1 5. The overlap rule fixes 2 of its cells before anything else; players who start elsewhere miss that head start.
- Row 3 has the fewest filled cells (1). Cross out its empty cells early; they unlock 5 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 1 1.
