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. A new-round button replaces the current round.
One way to understand the rules
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Look for the relevant detail.
Where a round can go wrong
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
