THE PLAYBOOK · ZYKJFASHION

Play Star Battle with the rules at hand

Open Star Battle, check the instructions and begin a round. Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Read the objective before making your first input. Look at what changes after your first action.

Solve ten 6×6 puzzles with one star in every row, column and region. These boards use the one-star rule.

One thing to notice as you play

Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Keep the objective visible.

Aim for this result

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.

Start here and follow along

1. Tap to place a star, mark a cell or clear it.
2. Respect fixed starter stars.
3. Check rows, columns and coloured regions.
4. Check puzzle verifies the final arrangement.

Input guidance

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. Check any mode label before starting.

Put the rules into context

A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Verify the rule before continuing.

A mistake to avoid

Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
