Star Battle: from controls to your first round

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. 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.

An idea for your next attempt

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. Refer to the controls when needed.

The challenge in front of you

Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Start with a deliberate move.

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.

Keyboard and screen controls

Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

A useful example

A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Look for the relevant detail.

One detail worth checking

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.
