Know the goal in 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. Use the example below to understand a decision. Read the objective before making your first input. 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.

Try a more deliberate round

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.

What counts as success

Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

From the start of a round

  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.

How to interact with the game

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.

An example before you play

A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the game’s format in mind.

A mistake to avoid

Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Compare the situation with the worked example. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
