Star Battle: what to know before playing
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. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. Look at what changes after your first action.
Solve ten 6×6 puzzles with one star in every row, column and region. These boards use the one-star rule.
Give this approach a try
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. Make the next step deliberately.
What you need to achieve
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.
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. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
Put the rules into context
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Check the stated objective.
One detail worth checking
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Check the rule before repeating the action. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
