A practical guide to Star Battle

Take a moment with Star Battle before moving to another game. Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. 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.

Learn from a sample situation

A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the game’s format in mind.

Keep this in mind

Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Check the rule before repeating the action. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
