Some battleships can be partially opened. A battleship is a straight line of successive black cells. The rules of the game are very simple: • The number of battleships of each size is indicated in the legend next to the grid. • 2 battleships cannot touch each other even diagonally. • The numbers outside the grid show the number of cells occupied by battleships in that row / column. In our application, we have created 12,000 unique levels with varying degrees of difficulty. If this is your first time playing "Hidden Ships", try the first beginner level. Each difficulty level contains 2000 unique levels. Where level 1 is the easiest and 2000 is the hardest. If you can easily solve the 2000th level, try the first level of the next difficulty level.
