Start with one of four small picture puzzles. A 5×5 grid has five rows and five columns; the clues tell you the lengths of filled groups in each line. The names of the hidden pictures stay secret until you solve them.
Your first move
Look for a row or column with a clue of 5: all five squares in that line must be filled. After marking them, check each crossing clue. A clue such as 1, 1 means two separate filled squares with at least one empty square between them. If you need more help, the in-game Hint button explains a deduction instead of revealing the picture.
