Starstruck is Netflix Puzzled's daily star puzzle, a take on Star Battle. Place stars on a grid so that each row, column and coloured region has exactly one, and no two stars touch, even diagonally. A new titled board arrives every day on Netflix Tudum and in the free Puzzled app, with no ads and no Netflix membership needed.
About Starstruck (Netflix Puzzled)
Starstruck is one of the daily logic games in Netflix Puzzled, the free puzzle collection Netflix runs on its Tudum site and as an app for iPhone, iPad and Android, made by Next Games, a Netflix studio. It follows the Star Battle rules: an N by N grid split into N coloured regions, and N stars to place so that every row, every column and every region holds exactly one, with no two stars next to each other, including diagonally.
Each day's board has a title of its own; on 19 October 2026 it was a five by five grid called A Star Is Born. You tap a cell once to mark it with a cross, again to place a star, and a third time to clear it. An Undo button takes back a move and a Hint button helps when you are stuck. The solve is pure deduction: cross out the cells around each star and the rest of its row, column and region until each remaining star has only one possible home.
New Daily Puzzles come out at midnight local time, and solving one keeps your streak going. The Puzzle Archive in the app keeps past days. The game has no ads and needs no Netflix membership; Netflix members get extra themed collections in the app. Sign in with a Netflix profile on Tudum to carry progress between the web and the app.
It suits fans of LinkedIn's Queens and other Star Battle puzzles who want a short, clean board each day, on a phone or a desktop browser.

Tips
- Start with the smallest region; it has the fewest places for its star.
- After placing a star, cross out its eight neighbours and the rest of its row, column and region.
- If a region fits inside one row or column, the rest of that line can be crossed out.
