The challenge in front of you
Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. The example below illustrates a decision.
A walkthrough of the rules
- 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.
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. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
Try this example
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Verify the rule before continuing.
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. 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.
