Practice with a purpose
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Your objective
Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
The playing sequence
- 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.
Keyboard and screen controls
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. Use the control method described here for this activity. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
An example to follow
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the controls nearby.
Keep this in mind
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
