Square Secrets

Fill squares from the clues to reveal a picture.

Each row and column lists how its filled squares run. Fill the grid until every clue is met and a picture shows. Today's picture is the same grid for everyone. Practice opens larger pictures as you clear them.

How to play

  1. Each row and each column lists its filled runs. A 2 and then a 1 means two filled squares, a gap, and one more. A 0 means that line stays empty.
  2. Tap a square to fill it. Mark is a note for a square you want to leave empty, and it is never a slip. Tap a square again to clear it. On a keyboard, arrows move and Space fills or marks the square you are on.
  3. A line turns mint when its filled squares match the clues. The picture is done when every line matches. A filled square the picture leaves empty is a slip. Undo takes the square back, and the slip stays.
  4. Today's picture is one grid for everyone, and filling it once a day grows your streak. Practice deals larger pictures as you clear them. A new practice picture waits until you ask.

Every way to play is equal here: touch, mouse and keyboard all move at the same top speed. A score means the same on any device.

Tips

  • A finished line turns mint. Use it to rule out squares in the lines that cross it.
  • Mark a square you are sure stays empty. A mark is a note, and it never counts as a slip.
  • Start with the lines that have the fewest ways to fit. A full line, or a 0, is already decided.
  • Three stars means no slips, and finishing inside the time for that size. Pause stops the clock.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes. It is free in the browser, with no download and no sign-up needed. Coins are for fun and can never be bought.

Is today's picture the same for everyone?

Yes. Today's picture is one 8 by 8 grid, from the date. Practice pictures are your own, and they get bigger as you clear them.

What earns three stars?

Finish with no slips, inside the time for that size. A slip is a filled square the picture leaves empty. Taking it back does not clear the slip. Marks are free.

Can I play on a phone?

Yes. Tap a square to fill it. Mark and Undo sit under the grid, so they never cover a square.
