Star Battle: from controls to your first round
Use a short break to learn the rhythm 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 with a purpose
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Use the example to check your reasoning.
The challenge in front of you
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. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
A walkthrough of the rules
- 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.
Getting comfortable with 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. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
Put the rules into context
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Verify the rule before continuing.
Notice this detail
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
