Know the goal in 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. Begin with the solo mode shown on the page. 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 beyond the first move
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Keep the objective visible.
Aim for this result
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. Take a moment to understand the current position.
How to proceed
- 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 to interact with the game
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. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
A closer look at one example
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Keep this in mind
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Compare the situation with the worked example. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
