How to play Fleet Finder

Locate the hidden fleet from the number of ship squares in each row and column.

A Fleet Finder puzzle in progress

The rules

  1. Ships of different lengths are hidden in the water. The list below the grid shows them all.
  2. The number beside each row and under each column says how many of its squares hold part of a ship.
  3. Ships run straight across or down and never touch each other, not even diagonally. There is exactly one answer.

How to get started

  1. Start with rows or columns marked 0: every square there is empty water. Tap a square once to mark it empty.
  2. Tap a square twice to mark part of a ship. The squares diagonally next to any ship square are always empty.
  3. When a row's open squares exactly match the number still needed, they are all ship squares.
  4. Use the ship list: the longest ones fit in only a few places, so place them early.
  5. Ask the coach whenever you want a nudge.

A tip

Check rows and columns whose number is already used up: everything left in them is empty water.
