Getting started with Star Battle
Try Star Battle at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Read the objective before making your first input. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Solve ten 6×6 puzzles with one star in every row, column and region. These boards use the one-star rule.
One thing to notice as you play
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Refer to the controls when needed.
The goal to keep in mind
Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Take a moment to understand the current position.
The order of play
- Tap to place a star, mark a cell or clear it.
- Respect fixed starter stars.
- Check rows, columns and coloured regions.
- Check puzzle verifies the final arrangement.
Keyboard and screen controls
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
A closer look at one example
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Take a moment to compare.
An important reminder
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Check the rule before repeating the action. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
