Daily Star Battle
Daily mode is the shared challenge. Each day has five boards, so it is useful for testing whether your row, column, region, and no-touch habits hold up across a compact set.

Daily and Unlimited practice
Choose the right Star Battle mode for the skill you want to train
Regular levels teach the rules in a steady order. Daily Star Battle gives everyone the same 5-puzzle pack. Star Battle Unlimited lets you choose a board size and generate more practice when a pattern needs extra repetitions.
A simple practice loop
- 1Warm up with one regular level and name the rule behind each star placement.
- 2Play the Daily pack to solve the same fresh boards other players see today.
- 3Use Unlimited when you want more boards at one size: 8x8 for readable practice, 9x9 for balanced training, and 10x10 for harder region interaction.
- 4Replay or share a seed when a board teaches a useful mistake, pattern, or solving route.
Star Battle Unlimited
Unlimited mode is the practice room. Pick a board size, generate a fresh board, or load a size-and-seed code from a friend so everyone studies the same puzzle.
