An opening for Juniper
Try the grid before opening the walkthrough below. These steps refer to this exact board; rows count down from the top and columns across from the left.
Show the first three deductions
- Look at 10 in row 5, column 2. Only one 2 × 5 rectangle fits without crossing an edge, another clue, or a placed rectangle. Its top-left corner is row 1, column 2.
- Look at 2 in row 6, column 2. Only one 2 × 1 rectangle fits without crossing an edge, another clue, or a placed rectangle. Its top-left corner is row 6, column 2.
- Look at 1 in row 9, column 1. Only one 1 × 1 rectangle fits without crossing an edge, another clue, or a placed rectangle. Its top-left corner is row 9, column 1.
Each later step assumes that the earlier rectangles have been placed. If your board differs, the in-game explanation works from your current position.
