How to read a parcel
Numbers count consecutive inked squares. A clue of “2 1” means a block of two, then a block of one, in that order. Leave at least one empty square between blocks. A 0 means the whole line is empty.
Read row clues left to right and column clues top to bottom. Ink squares you can deduce; use × for squares you know are empty. Unknown squares may stay blank. Fill the exact picture to finish.
A tick confirms the current ink fits a clue; it does not confirm every square is correct. Experiment and undo freely. A check highlights incorrect marks. A reveal repairs one wrong mark or inks one needed square. Both count as assistance, even after undo.
You start at 1,000 points. Each check costs 100 and each reveal costs 150, with a minimum of 100. Time never changes your score. Pause hides the puzzle; switching tabs also pauses play. All shops and artwork are fictional.
