An introduction to playing Star Battle
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. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. 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.

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. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
Put the rules into context
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Look for the relevant detail.
An important reminder
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Compare the situation with the worked example. 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.
