Simple Spaces (Block Length Limit)
Level 1: Easy
Cross out cells no block can reach, or gaps too short for any block.
Here a cross splits the line. The 4-block cannot fit in the three cells on the left, so they can never be part of a block.
Cross out any space that is too small for the smallest block that could go there. It also works at the ends of a line, where no block can stretch that far.
