Making your first moves in Star Battle

Practice beyond the first move
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Make the next step deliberately.
The challenge in front of you
Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
Follow these playing steps
- 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.
Making selections and moves
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
Put the rules into context
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Where a round can go wrong
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Compare the situation with the worked example. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
