Star Battle: a guide for your next round

Read the aim of Star Battle, then make your first move. Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Read the objective before making your first input. 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.

Something to practise

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Notice the feedback after each input.

Your objective

Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. The example below illustrates a decision.

The playing sequence

  1. Tap to place a star, mark a cell or clear it.
  2. Respect fixed starter stars.
  3. Check rows, columns and coloured regions.
  4. Check puzzle verifies the final arrangement.

Making selections and moves

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. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Choose a deliberate next step.

Avoid this misunderstanding

Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
