Tapa: Murus

Tapa: build one wall around the numbers

The rules

  1. A clue lists the runs of wall cells in the eight cells around it — 1 3 means a run of one and a run of three, apart.
  2. The wall is one piece: every wall cell connects to every other, up, down, left or right.
  3. No 2x2 block is wall all over, and a clue cell is never wall.

How to play here

Tap a cell to build wall, and tap again to take it back. Press and hold a cell to mark it free. Drag to mark several cells in one stroke.
