Aim for this result

How a round unfolds
- 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.
Your inputs
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use one clear input at a time.
See the idea in action
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Check the stated objective.
Pay attention to this rule
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. A different version of the game may use a different rule. 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.
