Remember the game Battleship? This has elements of that.

Here’s how you play: Each number at right represents the length of a filled-in block in that row. The number 3 means somewhere in that row, there are 3 boxes in a row filled in. Your challenge is finding which 3. There is always at least one empty square between blocks. And the blocks are in the same sequence as the numbers.

A few tips: Start off with large blocks and look for overlaps. Never guess. Only fill in the ones you know. When you complete a block, mark off the corresponding number, and when you complete a row or column, check it off .

When you’re done, you should see a figure from Massachusetts’s past. – By Conceptis Puzzles
