Star Battle: instructions and practice
Start Star Battle by looking at the playing area and its controls. Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. Use the example below to understand a decision. 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
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Refer to the controls when needed.
What counts as success
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.
Step by step
- 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. Use the control method described here for this activity. Check any mode label before starting.
A closer look at one example
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Take a moment to compare.
Keep this in mind
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
