Its my first time here so I really don’t understand how the answer string works. Can anyone please help me out. Thank you!
There is an example on the instructions page if you click the link. Does that image help?

first one i tried. very disappointed. turns out to have about a dozen correct answers. am wondering if all are keyed into the answer bot?
not going to register to find out.
There is exactly one answer. It may be possible you are not understanding the rules (stars cannot be in adjacent cells including diagonally adjacent cells — the diagonal part is sometimes missed).
