A useful comparison
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Keep the controls in easy reach.
Step by step
- 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.
Controls
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Check any mode label before starting.
A useful example
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Consider the next action carefully.
Watch out for this
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. A different version of the game may use a different rule. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
