Play Star Battle with the rules at hand
Bring your attention to one round of Star Battle. Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Begin with the solo mode shown on the page. 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.
A small practice goal
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Keep the objective visible.
The goal to keep in mind
Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
Making your moves
- 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 your actions work
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. Look at the feedback after the action.
An example before you play
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Read the matching step again.
Where a round can go wrong
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Check the rule before repeating the action. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
