How to solve a Starstruck puzzle

Place one star in every row, every column, and every colored region, with no two stars touching — not even diagonally. Tap a cell once to mark a cross where a star cannot go, tap again to place a star, and tap a third time to clear it. Swipe to mark several cells at once. Solve the whole board and every line will hold exactly one star. New to the game? Read the full how to play guide.

Since the daily puzzle only resets once a day, the fastest way to improve between rounds is to lean harder on elimination: every star you place lets you cross out its row, column, region, and the eight cells touching it, and that alone often reveals the next star. Our strategy guide covers the region-counting tricks that crack tougher boards, and the numbered puzzle library gives you more boards to practice on right now.
