How to play Stranded

Goal

Black out duplicate numbers so none repeats in a row or column, keeping all white cells connected.

Rules

Shade cells until no number repeats among the white cells in any row or column. Two shaded cells may never touch edge to edge, and the white cells must all stay connected in one region.

Controls

Tap a cell to cycle it through shaded and flagged; right-click clears it back to white. Use Check to highlight any duplicate or stranded cells.
