How to play 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. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. 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.
Keep the aim in sight
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. Make the next step deliberately.
Your goal
Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Keep the controls in easy reach.
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. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
A useful example
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Notice the change in the playing area.
Watch out for this
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
