Star Battle: learn through an example

Make Star Battle your next activity in the game library. 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. 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.

A small practice goal

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. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.

The order of play

  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.

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. 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. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Take a moment to compare.

A mistake to avoid

Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
