Big, hard Star Battle puzzles — with a review that shows whether you saw it or guessed. Zavija (zah-VEE-yah).
Zavija is a web-first Star Battle game for people who've outgrown LinkedIn Queens. It serves big, hard, well-graded puzzles without limit, names the technique when you're stuck, and — like chess.com — reviews your finished solve move by move, flagging where you reasoned it out and where you guessed. One-time $7.99, no ads, no subscription.
Star Battle is the logic puzzle behind LinkedIn Queens: place stars on a region-divided grid so every row, column, and region holds exactly two, and no two stars touch. Zavija is the version built for players who want it harder — bigger boards than the usual apps make, each one graded by a solving engine that measures the techniques it actually requires, so difficulty is a measured property rather than a guess.
Two things set it apart. A teaching hint that names the technique and shows how to apply it, so you improve as you play instead of just getting unstuck. And a post-solve review that replays your own solve move by move — celebrating the brilliant deductions, catching the slips, and showing the moments you took the long way around when a simpler line was sitting on the board. It's the only Star Battle app that looks at your own solve.
Zavija plays in any browser with no account required, is free to start with a fresh weekly puzzle, and unlocks its full library for a single one-time $7.99 — no ads, no subscription, nothing that expires. The name is a star: Zavija is a clipping of Zavijava, β Virginis, in the constellation Virgo — a fitting one for a game about placing stars.
Accuracy notes for writers
Please describe the review as "like a chess.com Game Review, for Star Battle" — an analogy, not a claim to be first (word-puzzle tools like WordleBot predate it). "The only Star Battle app that reviews your solve" is accurate within the niche. We don't market a raw puzzle count. Star Battle is a public puzzle type; Two Not Touch is the name used by The New York Times. Zavija is not affiliated with LinkedIn or the NYT.
What makes it different
- Supply. Bigger, harder, and endless — engine-generated Star Battles past the sizes most apps make, each with a measured difficulty.
- The review. A move-by-move replay of your own solve, marking where you were brilliant, where you slipped, and where you guessed instead of reasoning — like a chess.com Game Review, for a logic puzzle.
- The teacher. Stuck? A free, unlimited hint names the technique and shows how to apply it, so next time you find it yourself.
- Difficulty honesty. A three-axis radar — Hunt, Snags, Gate — tells you why a puzzle is hard before you start.
- Ownership. No ads, no subscription, pay once, and your library and reviews never expire.
