Tips & Tricks
The following section is dedicated to teaching you tips and tricks to advance in Christmas Griddlers – Journey to Santa. But no matter if you’re new or a veteran of this puzzle game, always keep one golden rule in mind: Only fill in squares when you’re sure you know the correct solution!
- Click and hold to highlight multiple tiles at once.
Christmas Griddlers – Journey to Santa – Highlight Multiple Tiles
- Always start puzzles by filling in or crossing out rows which have all numbers accounted for. Here are some examples:
- If the grid is 5 squares across, and one of the rows listed has a “5”, you can fill in all the numbers for that row.
- If the grid has a 0 listed in any row, you can cross off all the boxes in that row.
- If the grid is 5 squares across and the numbers shown are “3” and “1”, there is only one possible solution, since the numbers add up to 5: fill in the first 3 squares, cross off the 4th, and fill in the fifth.
Christmas Griddlers – Journey to Santa – Cross Off Lines of 0
- Rows are read from left to right.
- Columns are read from top to bottom.
- Don’t forget you will need to leave a minimum of one empty (aka crossed-out) square between groups of squares or numbers!
- If you’ve solved for all the numbers in a row or column, but there are still empty squares in that row or column, cross them out! This can help you visualize solutions easier.
- Here’s an additional tip! Let’s say you have a row that’s 5 squares across. The number on the side is 3. This means you need to fill in 3 boxes in this row. But how do you know which boxes to fill in? Use this series of steps to help you solve this example problem:
- Count three connected squares from the left edge of the row.
- Count three connected squares from the right side of the row.
- You’ll notice that no matter which way we count, the 3rd or middle square is always shared between them and part of the group. So, fill in the middle square.
- When you use this strategy, you will be able to solve rows or columns with several numbers. Sometimes just filling in this shared number is enough to give you the solution to another row or column!
- You can unlock locations using coins if you don’t have enough stars.
