Star Battle: what to know before playing

Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Star Battle. Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. Look at what changes after your first action. 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.

Build familiarity through play

Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Refer to the controls when needed.

Aim for this result

Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Keep the controls in easy reach.

The playing sequence

  1. Tap to place a star, mark a cell or clear it.
  2. Respect fixed starter stars.
  3. Check rows, columns and coloured regions.
  4. Check puzzle verifies the final arrangement.

Getting comfortable with the controls

Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use one clear input at a time.

See the idea in action

A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Read the matching step again.

A useful caution

Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
