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. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
Put the rules into context
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the controls nearby.
An important reminder
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. A different version of the game may use a different rule. 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.
