Getting started with Star Battle
Bring your attention to one round 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. 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.
Try a more deliberate round
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Use the example to check your reasoning.
The goal to keep in mind
Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Notice how the game responds to your input.
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. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
One way to understand the rules
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Read the matching step again.
Watch out for this
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
