FAQ
What are the rules of Two Not Touch?
Place stars so that each row, each column and each bold-outlined region contains exactly two. Stars can never be adjacent, including diagonally. Once every star is placed correctly, the puzzle is solved.
How do I place and remove stars?
Tap a cell once to mark it with an ×, tap again to place a star, and a third time to clear it. Drag across cells to mark or clear several × at once. Undo reverts your last move.
What do the small dots mean?
The faint dots are hints derived from your stars: cells next to a star, or in a row, column or region that already has two stars, cannot hold another star. They update automatically as you play.
Is there a new puzzle every day?
Yes. The daily puzzle changes at midnight in your local time zone, and everyone gets the same board. Your progress, solve time and streak are saved on this device. Unlimited mode gives you a fresh puzzle whenever you want one.
Any tips for getting started?
Look for small regions first: a region of only a few cells leaves little room for two non-touching stars. Placing a star rules out all eight neighbours, so mark those cells early. If a region fits entirely inside two rows, those rows have no other stars.
Is this the same as Star Battle?
Yes. Two Not Touch is the two-star version of Star Battle, a puzzle type that appears in newspapers and puzzle collections worldwide. This site is an independent, free version and is not affiliated with any publisher.
