Learn your way around Star Battle
Bring your attention to one round of Star Battle. Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Solve ten 6×6 puzzles with one star in every row, column and region. These boards use the one-star rule.
Take a closer look while playing
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Your objective
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. Keep the controls in easy reach.
From the start of a round
- 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.
How your actions work
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
Work through an 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.
A useful caution
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. 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.
