Star Battle: from controls to your first round
Star Battle gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. 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.
Give this approach a try
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Refer to the controls when needed.

Your inputs
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Look at the feedback after the action.
Put the rules into context
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Look for the relevant detail.
Where a round can go wrong
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
