Stars Ultimate

About Stars Ultimate

Stars Ultimate is a free browser Star Battle from Hey, Good Games, the studio behind Queens Ultimate. Its rule set is the classic two-star one: every row, every column and every coloured region of the 10x10 grid holds exactly two stars, and no two stars may touch, not even at a corner. The site says each puzzle has one solution reachable by logic alone.

The daily is dated and numbered (puzzle #16 fell on Tuesday 6 October 2026) and carries a difficulty tag such as Easy, so the challenge moves from day to day. Everyone gets the same board, and the site tracks your streak; an account is optional, for keeping it across devices.

First-time players get a short How to Play tutorial on a worked 8x8 board, which can be skipped. Under the board are Reset, Undo, Hint and Check, and a timer runs beside a pause button. When the daily is done, Unlimited offers more boards. The page carries ads at the sides.

It suits LinkedIn Queens players who want the harder two-star version with the same bright colour regions.

How to play Stars Ultimate

1. Open starsultimate.com and skip or follow the tutorial; today's Daily loads.
2. Tap cells to mark X's where no star can go and to place stars.
3. Put exactly two stars in every row, column and coloured region.
4. Keep stars from touching, even diagonally.
5. Press Check when the board is full, then keep your streak going tomorrow.

Tips

• Begin with the smallest region; two stars that cannot touch leave few places for them.
• Two regions that fill the same two rows take all four of those rows' stars.
• Use Hint sparingly on Easy days to learn the patterns for harder ones.
