Hunt and sink the hidden enemy fleet before they sink yours.
About Battleship
The naval guessing duel. Both sides hide five ships on a secret grid, then take turns calling shots. A hit lets you zero in; sink all five enemy ships before yours go down. The computer hunts intelligently once it lands a hit, so scattering your fleet and shooting smart both matter. Free to play in your browser — no download, no sign-up.
How to Play
Arrange your fleet (or shuffle it), then fire at the enemy grid by tapping a square. A hit turns red -- keep firing around it to sink the ship. Sink all five enemy ships before they sink yours.
Tips & Strategy
Shoot in a checkerboard pattern when hunting -- since the smallest ship is two cells, you'll still find everything while covering the board in half the shots.
The moment you get a hit, fire the four adjacent squares to find the ship's direction, then run down the line.
Place your own ships apart and off the edges -- clustered fleets die fast once one is found.
Don't leave your ships in obvious lines along the border; the edges are the first place a smart opponent sweeps.
