- Combine row and column deductions.
- Check puzzle verifies the finished grid.

See the idea in action
Clue 2 1 requires a run of two, a blank separator, and a run of one. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Choose a deliberate next step.
Check this before moving on
Do not merge two separate runs. Check the rule before repeating the action. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
