Just tasteful, well-crafted puzzles. THREE WAYS TO MARK THE BOARD • Fill the cells that make up the picture • Cross Out the cells you know are empty • Maybe — drop a tentative "?" pencil mark when you're not sure yet; it never counts as a mistake Drag to paint several cells at once, undo any step, or spend a hint to reveal one correct cell.
