Star Battle: a guide for your next round
Read the aim of Star Battle, then make your first move. Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. 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 to use the controls

Follow the example
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Notice the change in the playing area.
Watch out for this
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
