A useful example
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.
Watch out for this
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Compare the situation with the worked example. 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.
