Find your footing in 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. Read the objective before making your first input. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Solve ten 6×6 puzzles with one star in every row, column and region. These boards use the one-star rule.
Give this approach a try
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Make the next step deliberately.
The goal to keep in mind
Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
A walkthrough of the rules
- 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.
Your inputs
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
Follow the example
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Notice the change in the playing area.
Notice this detail
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
