-
- <p> </p>
-
- <p>The object of Cross Numbers is to place a number into the empty squares so
- that each row, each column and each square of 9 contain the digits 1
- through 9 once and only once.</p>
- <p> </p>
- <p>To play a game, first load in a puzzle to play by selecting Load Puzzle
- from the File Menu. The grid will then partially fill with hints. The number of
- hints shown is determined by the difficulty level.</p>
- <p> </p>
- <p>To move around the grid, simply tap on a square. To enter a number in the
- highlighted square, tap on the numbers at the bottom of the screen. To erase a
- number, tap the Space square and to receive a hint, tap the Hint square.</p>
- <p> </p>
- <p>Using logic, continue entering numbers until the grid is filled. You might
- want to load in a puzzle and select Solve from the Game Menu to see an example
- of a completed puzzle. Also please note, that depending on the random placement
- of the hints, there might be more than one solution for a puzzle.</p>
- <p> </p>
- <p>You may check your answers at any time by selecting Check Square or Check All
- from the Game Menu. Incorrect answers will be shown in red. Or you may receive a hint for the selected square by
- selecting Hint from the Game Menu or tapping the Hint square on the screen. If
- you wish to see the solution, select Solve from the Game Menu.</p>
- <p> </p>
- <p>There are two options for clearing and restarting the puzzle. If you select
- Clear from the Game Menu, the grid will be cleared of any answers you may have
- entered and the original hints will remain. If you select Restart from the Game
- Menu, the entire grid will be cleared and a new set of hints will be generated
- for the puzzle.</p>
- <p> </p>
- <p>From the Options Menu, you may change the background of the playing screen
- and select the difficulty of the puzzles. The Novice level will give you 45
- hints, the Easy level 36, the Medium 27 and the Hard 18.</p>
