When I solve all the number clues correctly then the puzzle is solved and a picture is revealed. Most number clues won’t reveal the entire row in this way so I must return to them later when I have solved perpendicular clues that give me more information. If the row is ten pixels wide and its number clue is ten, then I should fill in all ten pixels if its number clue is five and four, then I should fill in five pixels, leave one blank, then fill in the remaining four, for a total of ten pixels. The number clues show how many pixels in a row should be filled in. By applying deductive reasoning to number clues along the grid’s edges I can determine which coordinates-pixels-should be filled in and which should be left blank.
