How to solve straights
Fill the white cells so every row and column holds distinct digits, and each run of white cells between the black cells is a set of consecutive numbers.
The method
- 1Spot the runs. The black cells split each row and column into runs. A run of three white cells holds three consecutive numbers in any order.
- 2Use the length. A run of length L can only hold numbers within a window L wide, so its highest and lowest digits are L apart.
- 3Respect the whole line. Digits never repeat across a full row or column, and a black clue digit is excluded from the white cells of its line.
- 4Narrow the windows. A given digit fixes a run’s window. Cross rows against columns until each cell has one option.
- The one rule
- Distinct digits per line, and each run a set of consecutive numbers.
- What the answer page shows
