Your goal

A walkthrough of the rules

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. Look at the feedback after the action.
Try this example
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Verify the rule before continuing.
A common point of confusion
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
