See how the rules apply
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Verify the rule before continuing.
Check this before moving on
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
