Square
by Square.
A few numbers.
Room for a picture.
Fill squares to match the runs of ink described by each row and column. Three company-authored puzzles, with a place to reconsider each mark.
Make your own picture puzzle ↗. Turn a drawing into clues for someone else.
A small start
5 rows × 5 columns| Column → Row ↓ | Col 15 | Col 24 | Col 33 | Col 42 | Col 51 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Row 11 | |||||
| Row 22 | |||||
| Row 33 | |||||
| Row 44 | |||||
| Row 55 |
A check means that line’s current ink runs match its clues. It does not prove the squares are in the right places until the crossing lines agree too.
Your next mark
Ink.
Ink fills a square. Mark empty adds an optional cross for your notes. Clear removes either mark. Choosing the same mark again leaves the square as it is.
Restart is one change that can be undone. Switch boards whenever you like; each keeps its own marks and Undo history during this visit.
Reading the numbers
Each number is one unbroken run of ink. Read row clues from left to right and column clues from top to bottom, in the order shown.
Leave at least one empty square between runs. A clue of 0 means that whole line has no ink. Blank squares and empty crosses both count as gaps.
Finish when every row and every column has exactly its listed runs. You do not have to mark every empty square.
Keep blank puzzle sheet (SVG). All three puzzles, with their clues. The sheet starts blank. Open the file to print, choosing paper size and scaling in your print options.
