Star Battle
Two stars in every row, every column and every colored region, and no two stars may touch, not even at a corner. That is all of Star Battle, and it is enough for a long, satisfying solve.
How Star Battle works
Mark empty cells. Tap once to mark a cell with a cross.
Place a star. Tap twice to place a star. Its neighbours can be crossed out at once.
Fill every line. Every row, column and region needs exactly two stars.
Use no guessing. Each board has one answer you can reach by logic.

Common Star Battle questions
Is there a Star Battle solver?
Puzzlune can reveal the answer, but it will not count. Each past day also has a walkthrough of the first steps.
What is the difference between Star Battle and Queens?
Queens uses one star per row, column and region. Star Battle uses two, which makes the logic deeper.
How hard is each day?
Monday is an easy 8x8. Thursday, Saturday and Sunday are hard, with 10x10 boards at the weekend.
Star Battle strategy
- Small regions are the place to start. A region of three cells in a row forces a lot.
- If two regions fit inside two rows, those rows hold all their stars, so cross out the rest.
- Turn on auto place so crossing out neighbours happens for you.
