Star Battle: instructions and practice
Try Star Battle at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. Look at what changes after your first action. 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.
Something to practise
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Notice the feedback after each input.
The purpose of your moves
Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Take a moment to understand the current position.
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 your actions work
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.
Follow the example
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Verify the rule before continuing.
Where a round can go wrong
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. A different version of the game may use a different rule. 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.
