How to play
Read the clues
A black square shows two numbers: the sum of the run to its right, and the sum of the run below it.
Fill in digits
Type a digit from 1 to 9 into each white square. A digit may not repeat inside one run.
Start with short runs
Two-square runs with a very small or very large total have only one answer. A total of 3 must be 1 and 2; a total of 17 must be 8 and 9.
