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.
The controls to know
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. Look at the feedback after the action.
Learn from a sample situation
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Verify the rule before continuing.
A useful caution
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Compare the situation with the worked example. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
