One thing to notice as you play
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Use the example to check your reasoning.
The purpose of your moves
Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.

Getting comfortable with the controls
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. Check any mode label before starting.
Follow the example
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Take a moment to compare.
Keep this in mind
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Check the rule before repeating the action. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
