Game Objective
Put the squares in one order from start to finish by linking each square to its next square. A square's arrow only tells you where its next square must be: for example, a right arrow means the next square is somewhere to the right in the same row. It can be several cells away; it does not have to touch.
Connect the squares into a path following the arrows.
How to Play
Left-drag from a square to the square you think comes next. Right-drag from a square to the square you think comes before it. Drag a square off the grid to break links if you need to undo.
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
- Think of the answer as a numbered list of all squares: 1, then 2, then 3, and so on.
- The arrow gives direction only, not distance. A right arrow can skip over empty cells, but it cannot go up, down, or left.
- The final chain must use every square exactly once, with no branches and no separate chains.
