Daily Star Battle #53

Medium

#53
Play a random board
0:00

When is the next puzzle?

Everyone gets the same grid, and a new one arrives every day at midnight UTC.

How hard is today’s?

Today is Thursday. Monday is the easiest board of the week and Saturday the hardest, and Sunday eases off again. Every puzzle has exactly one solution, and you can always reach it by logic, without guessing.

Stuck?

Press Hint under the board. It first shows where to look, Show why explains the step, and Show the move shows it. To read the whole way through instead, today’s hints go through #53 step by step, with the answer hidden at the end.

Your streaks

Solving any puzzle on the site keeps your streak going. The daily also keeps a streak of its own: the days in a row you solved the daily. Both are saved in this browser, so clearing your browser data erases them.

Past puzzles and unlimited play

Missed a day? Every past daily is in the archive. Solving one counts toward your streak like any other puzzle, but only today’s counts toward the daily streak. Want another board now? Unlimited play gives you any size and difficulty, as many boards as you like.
