How do I play Colour Cross?

Fill squares using the coloured runs shown beside each row and column. Leave gaps between neighbouring runs of the same colour; different colours can touch.

HOW TO PLAY

One line.
Many possibilities.

A clue 3 1 means a run of three filled squares, then a run of one. Leave at least one empty square between the runs. The order matters.

××××

This is one possible 8-square line for 3 1. Use the crossing column clues to find the exact positions. A clue 0 means the whole line is empty.

1Choose Fill or Empty, then tap squares. You can hold and draw across the board.

2Tap a clue line to highlight its row or column. Clues turn green when that entire line is correctly marked.

3Mark every square. A wrong fill or empty mark uses one of three lives. Erasing is free; undo does not restore lives.

Every puzzle has one verified solution. There are 12 base puzzles per size, with rotated and reflected variants. Ink changes the look, never the logic.
