Know the goal in Star Battle
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. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
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. Make the next step deliberately.
The challenge in front of you
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. The example below illustrates a decision.
Follow these playing steps
- 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. Use the control method described here for this activity. A new-round button replaces the current round.
An example before you play
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Read the matching step again.
A mistake to avoid
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
