How to play Star Battle
Choose a round of Star Battle and settle into its rules. Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. Use the example below to understand a decision. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Look at what changes after your first action.
Solve ten 6×6 puzzles with one star in every row, column and region. These boards use the one-star rule.
Make the controls familiar
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Make the next step deliberately.
Your goal
Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
Step by step
- 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.
Controls
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. Use the control method described here for this activity. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
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. Keep the controls nearby.
Watch out for this
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
