How to play Battleships

Place five straight ships on your 10×10 grid: a carrier (5 squares), battleship (4), cruiser (3), submarine (3), and destroyer (2). Ships can touch, but cannot overlap or extend beyond the board.

Start with a shuffled fleet, or clear the board and place each ship yourself. Use Horizontal / Vertical to rotate the next ship. Tap a placed ship to lift it, then choose its new starting square.

Take turns firing at coordinates such as B7 on the other board. A dot means miss, an orange cross means hit, and a red outline means sunk. Every square of a ship must be hit before it sinks. Sink all five enemy ships first to win.

Play solo against three AI difficulties, create a private room and share its link, or find an online opponent. After a match, both players can place a fresh fleet for a rematch. No download or account needed.
