How to play

Draw one line through every white square, from station 1 to the terminus. Bricked squares are closed.
The line calls at stations 1, 2, 3 … in order. Some squares on the line are stations, some are just track. Missing station numbers are ghosts: find their squares.
Each sign is the total of the station numbers in its row or column, ghosts included. A blank sign tells you nothing.

Controls: drag from square to square to draw the line; drag back over it to remove it. Tap a square, then type its station number on the keypad. On a keyboard: arrows move, Shift + arrow draws, digits type, Backspace erases.

Where to start

A square with only two open neighbours must be passed straight through by the line, using both. Corners and squares beside bricks give you the first pieces. Then use the signs: a 0 means no station in that line at all.
