How to play Star Battle
Make Star Battle your next activity in the game library. Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. Look at what changes after your first action. Begin with the solo mode shown on the page. Use the example below to understand a decision.
Solve ten 6×6 puzzles with one star in every row, column and region. These boards use the one-star rule.
Notice the feedback
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your goal
Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
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. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
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. Choose a deliberate next step.
Watch out for this
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. 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.
