The essentials of playing Star Battle
Bring your attention to one round of Star Battle. 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.
Practice with a purpose
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Make the next step deliberately.
Your goal
Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Notice how the game responds to your input.
Work through the instructions
- 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.
Using the playing area
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. A new-round button replaces the current round.
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. Look for the relevant detail.
An important reminder
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Compare the situation with the worked example. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
