How to Play
- Each row and column has a target sum displayed on the edges
- Columns are numbered 1, 2, 3... from left to right
- Rows are numbered 1, 2, 3... from top to bottom
- When you fill a cell in column N, it adds N to that row's sum
- When you fill a cell in row N, it adds N to that column's sum
- Fill cells so all row and column sums match their targets

Tips & Strategy
- Start with rows/columns with very high or very low target sums
- High sums often require filling cells in high-value columns/rows
- Low sums typically need cells only in low-value columns/rows
- Cross-reference row and column constraints to eliminate possibilities
