Chained Block

Game Rules: Shade cells to form orthogonally connected black blocks. Each block contains exactly one clue: a number gives its area; ? leaves its area unknown. Given clue cells are already black. Every block must touch another block diagonally. All blocks connected by diagonal contacts form a chain; separate chains are allowed. Shapes within each whole chain must differ, even after rotation or reflection. Tap to toggle black; hold to toggle a white dot. Drag to paint several cells. Mark every remaining cell white to finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I start solving Chained Block?
