An idea for your next attempt
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Make the next step deliberately.
Your goal
Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
The order of play
- 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.
Using the playing area
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
Learn from a sample situation
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Read the matching step again.
A mistake to avoid
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Check the rule before repeating the action. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
