Making your first moves in Star Battle
Make Star Battle your next activity in the game library. 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. 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.
Give this approach a try
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Refer to the controls when needed.
What the game asks you to do
Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Take a moment to understand the current position.
Making your moves
- 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.
How to use the 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. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
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. Choose a deliberate next step.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
