Do you guys have experience with star battle puzzles?
The rules are that there are exactly 2 stars in every row, column, and territory and that stars cannot be adjacent to each other.
(The colours in pic related are only notes for myself and the Xs highlight tiles where there cannot be stars.)
Do you have some methods that can be used to make these easier to solve?
The last couple of these star battle puzzles that I've done always lead to a roadblock where I didn't know how to continue, and then I just randomly placed down the final stars and stumbled into the solution, which very much feels like cheating to me.
