How to interact with the game
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. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
Put the rules into context
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Look for the relevant detail.
A common point of confusion
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
