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. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
Work through an example
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the game’s format in mind.
An important reminder
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Compare the situation with the worked example. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
