See the idea in action
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the controls nearby.
A useful caution
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. 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.
