Game Objective
Rotate the tiles so all wire pieces join into one connected network with no closed loops. Tiles connected back to the center light up; the puzzle is solved when every tile is lit.
Rotate each tile to reassemble the network.
How to Play
Left-click a tile to rotate it anticlockwise. Right-click a tile to rotate it clockwise. Middle-click, or Shift-left-click, to lock a tile when you think it is correct; repeat to unlock it.
These puzzles reward careful deduction more than speed. Start with the most constrained clues, eliminate impossible choices step by step, and avoid guessing unless the puzzle specifically calls for it.
Beginner Tips
- Start at the edges and corners: in the normal mode, a wire end cannot point off the board.
- Endpoint tiles must connect to exactly one neighbor, bends to two neighbors, and T-junctions to three neighbors.
- If a group of wires closes into a loop before every tile is connected, that loop is wrong.
