How to play Star Battle
Star Battle gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. 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. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. 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.
Read before acting
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Keep the objective visible.
Your goal
Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Take a moment to understand the current position.
Step by step
- 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.
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. Look at the feedback after the action.
A useful example
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Look for the relevant detail.
Watch out for this
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Check the rule before repeating the action. 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.
