Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Make the next step deliberately.

What you are aiming for

The playing sequence

A useful example

A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Check the stated objective.
