LAYING
AND
SOLVING
(general points)
In most activities, one square of the 9x9
grid contains a “blinking” character
called the cursor. You will need to move
the cursor by using the arrow keys. See
the section of this guide dealing with the
activity you have chosen.
When the cursor reaches the end of a row
or column, a further press on the same
arrow key makes it jump to the opposite
end. In a location which is otherwise
vacant, the cursor is represented by a “ ”
or “–” sign.
