  2. 2
    Every clue is true, and together they allow one answer. No guessing is needed.

  3. 3
    Tap a value in a burrow to rule it out. Tap it again to bring it back.

  4. 4
    Double-tap a value to place it (or long-press, or right-click). Tap a placed value to take it off. When only one value fits, it is placed for you.

  5. 5
    A clue goes grey by itself when it has nothing left to tell you, and red when what you placed breaks it.

  6. 6
