Learn the rules of Star Battle

Choose a round of Star Battle and settle into its rules. Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Read the objective before making your first input. Use the example below to understand a decision.

Solve ten 6×6 puzzles with one star in every row, column and region. These boards use the one-star rule.

Bring this focus to a round

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 goal to keep in mind

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. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

From the start of a round

  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 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. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

An example before you play

A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the controls nearby.

Pay attention to this rule

Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
