Sampler Clues
Sampler Clues is a picture logic puzzle that plays in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, for one player. It has a daily challenge, the same for everyone that day.
Stitch a hidden picture into a grid using the run clues beside each row and above each column. Every motif mirrors left to right, so the right half copies whatever you do on the left and only the left half has column clues. Each puzzle is checked by a line solver, so it has one answer and never needs a guess.
How to play
- Numbers are runs of stitches, in order. Tap a cell to stitch it
- Tap a stitch again to mark the cell empty, once more to clear it
- The mirror copies the left half, so columns have clues on the left only
- Drag along a row or column to stitch several. Hint and Undo are free
The game shows these steps as you play, the first time.
Controls
- Tap a cell to stitch, again to mark empty
- Drag along a line
- Arrows, Space and X with keys
- H hint, U undo
Tips
- Start with the biggest row clues: in a 12 cell row a run of 8 must cover the middle four cells wherever it sits.
- Rows are symmetric, so in a row with an odd number of runs the middle run sits across the mirror line, and a single run is centred on it.
- Mark cells you know are empty with a second tap; the dots keep runs apart, and a clue turns pale once its line matches.
Why do only half the columns have clues?
The motif is the same on both sides of the gold mirror line, so a right-hand column always matches its partner on the left. Anything you stitch or mark on one side appears on the other, and the row clues still count the whole row from edge to edge.
What does Hint do in Sampler Clues?
If any stitch or empty mark on the grid is wrong, Hint clears the first one and says so. Otherwise it fills in one cell that row and column logic can prove from your correct marks, and lights up the line it came from. Hints are counted on the end card but cost nothing.
