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. Read the objective before making your first input. Use the example below to understand a decision.

Solve ten 6×6 puzzles with one star in every row, column and region. These boards use the one-star rule.

One thing to notice as you play

After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Notice the feedback after each input.

Your goal

Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Check the rules when you are unsure.

Step by step

  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.

Your inputs

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. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

Try this example

A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Choose a deliberate next step.

Avoid this misunderstanding

Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
