An idea for your next attempt
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Use the example to check your reasoning.
The objective of a round
Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
From the start of a round
- Tap to place a star, mark a cell or clear it.
- Respect fixed starter stars.
- Check rows, columns and coloured regions.
- Check puzzle verifies the final arrangement.
How to use the controls
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
One way to understand the rules
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Take a moment to compare.
A mistake to avoid
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Compare the situation with the worked example. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
