Play Number Runs (One Up) online: rules and tips

How to play Number Runs

• Walls split each row and column into separate runs.
• A run of two cells contains 1 and 2. A run of five contains 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
• Each number appears exactly once within its run, in any order.
• Every cell belongs to one across run and one down run, so it must satisfy both.
• Tap a cell, then a number. Repeats or numbers too large for a run turn red.

Your first useful move

Find the shortest runs first. A two-cell run needs 1 and 2, and every crossing must also obey the other run’s range and missing numbers.
