understand why when you pick up the rules to this puzzle.
To complete the puzzle, every row and column must not contain the same
digit
twice. You'll notice in the example given here that there are repeated
numbers, so it's your job to shade out just enough numbers to satisfy
the
master rule.
However, there are a couple of twists. First, shaded squares cannot
touch
sides. Therefore, if you shade in a square, you know that the square
above,
below, left and right cannot also be shaded. In addition, the completed
puzzle must consist of only one chain of unshaded squares. That is,
all the
white squares must stay together as a group; don't cut them into
two or more
unconnected islands.
