An introduction to playing Star Battle
Take a moment with Star Battle before moving to another game. 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. 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.
Something to practise
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Make the next step deliberately.
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. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
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.
The controls to know
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. 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. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Take a moment to compare.
A common point of confusion
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
