Play Star Battle with the rules at hand
Start Star Battle by looking at the playing area and its controls. 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.
Practice beyond the first move
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Keep the objective visible.
Aim for this result
Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
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.
Using the playing area
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. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
An example before you play
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.
Where a round can go wrong
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
