A solution to last week's challenge can be found here.
This week's challenge is a great way to get started with the spatial tools in Designer.
Use the provided centroids (points) to create a polygon that makes a seven-pointed star!
Star-studded challenge to start the week!
Great way to start the week!
Fun challenge! The spatial part was easy enough, but I got hung up trying to find a clever way to convert written numbers into their corresponding digits. I know I can do it in Python, but couldn't figure out how to easily do it in Alteryx. I ultimately just went with a lookup table.

276 done!
I wasn't sure the best way to fill in the middle but the ...
First time doing a spatial flow!!!! Love it!!!
My solution.
It seems I took the detour.
I ended up with 2 solutions
Also had a couple of methods, but the first made my star squiffy,
Here is my solution.
I was a little surprised when I saw the sequence so I decided to go on a bit of a tangent.
Since it was a spatial challenge, I had to see where the star was!
Used Poly-Build tool to assemble the framework for the star then used Summarize tool to Spatial-combine.
Wonder what would be the best way to do it if the labels are in random order.
This was good practice for summarize tool - got the star but couldn't figure out how to 'fill it in'. This helped:

Tried doing combine using spatial tools set but had to fall back on summarize tool.
Here is my solution:
First challenge in ages.
Think I might have overcomplicated this...
When the Penny drops....
Spatial challenges are always refreshing!
Often takes me a while to look away from the Spatial pallette and recall the "Combine" functionality of the Summarize tool
My solution:
At first, I thought I might need to repeat point 1 to end the polygon, but apparently not...
