Printable Star Battle
Star Battle — some know it as “Two Not Touch” — is a grid cut into regions. Place stars so that every row, every column and every region holds exactly two of them, and no two stars touch, not even at a corner. Nothing is given: the board starts empty and every star is yours to find.
Every day there is a new board in each of three sizes, dealt to everybody alike and solvable without a single guess. Pick a size, print the sheet, and take it wherever a screen would not go — it is solved with a pen and a few crosses.

How to play
Place stars so that every row, every column and every outlined region holds exactly two of them.
No two stars may touch, not even at a corner.
Crosses are your own notes of where a star cannot go; only the stars are the answer.
Tap a cell to cross it out, tap again for a star, once more to clear it. Drag across cells to cross out several at once.
A star turns red when it touches another, or when its row, column or region holds too many.
Questions people ask
- Is it free?
- Yes. The sheets, the boards on the site and the archive are free, without an account and without advertising. The PDFs are made once a day and anyone may download them.
- How many puzzles are there a day?
- One new board a day at each level — 8 × 8 ★★, 9 × 9 ★★, and 10 × 10 ★★ — the same for everybody, dealt at midnight UTC. Earlier days stay downloadable in the archive below.
- Do I need to sign up?
- No. Every sheet downloads without an account. An account only keeps your online plays and your streak in one place across your devices.
- Does every puzzle have exactly one solution?
- Yes. Every board is checked to have a single solution and to be solvable by reasoning alone — no guessing is ever needed. The solution is not printed; the sheet holds the puzzle and the rules.
- May I hand the sheets out or use them in a classroom?
- Yes — print, photocopy and hand them out as you like, for a class, a club or a waiting room. Only leave the credit line at the foot of the sheet where it is.
