- Start with the row that has the clue "10". This means all 10 cells in that row must be filled.
- Look at the column with the clue "10". All 10 cells in that column must also be filled. The intersection of this row and column is confirmed.
- For rows or columns with a single number equal to the grid size (like "10"), fill the entire row or column.
- For rows or columns with small numbers like "1", place a single filled cell, ensuring it doesn’t violate adjacent clues.
- Use the process of elimination: if a row has a clue of "5" and you’ve already placed 5 consecutive filled cells, mark the rest as empty.
- Cross-reference row and column constraints. If a column requires a block of 3 and only 3 consecutive cells are available in a row, fill them.
- Continue applying logic until all cells are determined based on the numerical clues for each row and column.
- Verify that every row and column matches its given sequence of numbers exactly.
