Understand the basics of 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. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. 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.
Practice beyond the first move
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. Notice the feedback after each input.
What the game asks you to do
Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Check the rules when you are unsure.
Work through the instructions
- 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.
How to use the controls
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. Read a button’s label before selecting it. A new-round button replaces the current round.
See how the rules apply
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Take a moment to compare.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Compare the situation with the worked example. 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.
