How to play

DiagramRead the clues, place the pawns

A diagram of pawns is hidden on the board. Each rank and each file carries its clue: the lengths of the runs of pawns along it, in order, with at least one empty square between runs. Place pawns until every rank and file reads as its clue.

RulesWhat counts, what ends it

Any placement that reads right is a solution. A line that reads right dims its clue.
A cross marks a square you know is empty; it is for you and counts for nothing.
A hint sets one square to the hidden diagram, a wrong pawn first. It is free and it is counted.
The board grows a square wider every two levels, five wide to ten.
