Starpath rules

8 × 8 path puzzle

Rules of Starpath

Starpath asks you to draw a single route across an eight-by-eight sky. Begin at star 1, move orthogonally around barriers, and reach stars 2 through 12 without crossing or overlapping your trail.

The objective: Visit all 64 tiles exactly once, avoid every barrier, and reach stars 1–12 in order.

Starpath is a number path puzzle: one route that visits every tile and passes the numbered stars in order.

Begin the trail at star 1.

The route always starts on the tile marked 1. Drag or tap from that point to extend one continuous path.

The trail always starts on star 1 and grows one tile at a time.

Move only to orthogonal neighbors.

Each step goes up, down, left, or right into a neighboring tile. Diagonal jumps and moves across the board are not allowed.

Allowed
Not allowed
Up, down, left or right. Never diagonally.

Respect the dark barriers.

A barrier blocks the shared edge between two tiles. Your line must turn before the barrier and find another route around it.

“A wall is just a suggestion about which way to go next.”

Rigel
A barrier blocks the edge between two tiles, so the trail goes around it.

Visit all 12 stars in order.

The numbered clues are checkpoints. The path must reach 2 after 1, then 3, and continue through 12 without skipping ahead.

The trail passes through the stars in number order.

Use every tile exactly once.

A complete route covers all 64 tiles and never revisits a square or overlaps itself. Watch for branches that trap an unused tile or divide the remaining open area.

Every tile covered
Two tiles stranded
A complete trail visits each tile once. A trail that seals off a pocket can’t finish.

Trim, undo, or reset a wrong branch.

Return to a previous tile to shorten the route, use Undo for one step, or reset the trail. Hints extend the correct route and count toward the daily result.

Go back to the last tile you’re sure of. The route after it is removed.
