An introduction to playing Star Battle
Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Star Battle. 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. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Solve ten 6×6 puzzles with one star in every row, column and region. These boards use the one-star rule.

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Use the example to check your reasoning.
What the game asks you to do

The steps to play
- 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.
Choosing and moving on screen
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. Use one clear input at a time.
Learn from a sample situation
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Check the stated objective.
Pay attention to this rule
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
