Star Battle

How to play

• Tap a cell to cycle: empty → ★ → × (a note that no star goes there) → empty.
• Place stars so every row, every column and every colored region ends with exactly the star count shown (2★ on the daily 10×10; 1★ on the easy 8×8).
• No two stars may touch — not even diagonally.
• Every board has exactly one solution, machine-verified before publication. You never have to guess.

If you enjoy LinkedIn's Queens or Netflix's daily star puzzle, this is the full-strength version of that habit: the two-star format on a 10×10 board that the one-star clones don't offer, with unlimited practice and an archive of dailies. Sister puzzles: Gridlings.

FAQ

How do you play Star Battle?

Place two stars in every row, every column and every outlined region of the 10×10 grid, with no two stars touching, not even diagonally. Tap a cell to place or remove a star.

Is there a new Star Battle puzzle every day?

Yes — a new daily board goes live at 00:00 UTC, the same board for every player worldwide, with streak tracking. Unlimited free play in three difficulties and a full archive of past dailies are also free, with no account and no ads.

Can Star Battle be solved without guessing?

Yes. Every published board is machine-verified before release: a solver proves exactly one solution exists and is reachable by logical deduction, so there is always a provable next step.
