Choosing and moving on screen
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. 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. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Read the matching step again.
One detail worth checking
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
