Star Battle: Beyond the Triple Limit
(Published on 1. June 2026, 00:13 by Jacoba)
I couldn't find a 4-Star Battle online, so created one myself :-)
Rules:
1. Place 4 stars in every row, column, and outlined region.
2. Crucially, no two stars can touch each other, not even diagonally
Have fun!
PS. It's fully logically solvable, no need for "backtracking". I'm curious to see how difficult you find it. I think it's hard because of the size it's easy to make a mistake, average because of the nice standard logical rules which lead the way.

I agree with your assessment of the difficulty. I made one mistake and had to backtrack quite a bit. Other than that it was pretty easy.
Thanks!
