Sumplete tips for tomorrow

  • Find the rows that must keep everything. If a row's target equals the sum of all its numbers, nothing in it can be deleted.
  • Find the zeros. A target of zero means every number in that line goes.
  • Use large numbers. A number bigger than its row's target must be deleted.
