Simple Spaces (Block Length Limit)

Level 1: Easy

Cross out cells no block can reach, or gaps too short for any block.

Clue: 4KnownDeduced
Highlighted cells are the new deductions: cell 1 crossed out, cell 2 crossed out, cell 3 crossed out.

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.
