A closer look at one example
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Notice this detail
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.
