Draw one continuous path through every cell on the grid. Visit numbered checkpoints in order, never jump or reuse a cell, and finish on the final mark.
📖How to Play
Start at checkpoint 1 and draw a single path that visits every cell on the board. You must reach 2, 3, 4… in numerical order, moving only horizontally or vertically. The path may never revisit a cell, and it must end on the last numbered checkpoint.
Drag with your mouse or finger — the line follows your pointer. Drag backward along the path to backtrack and try a different route.
🎮Gameplay Mechanics
1. Start at 1
- Every puzzle begins at the cell marked 1.
- You cannot start drawing anywhere else.
2. Ordered Checkpoints
- Numbered cells must be visited in ascending order.
- You may pass through empty cells freely between marks.
- Entering a number out of order is blocked.
3. Continuous Ortho Path
- Move one cell at a time — up, down, left, or right.
- No diagonals, no jumps, no disconnected segments.
4. No Revisits
- Each cell may appear on the path only once.
- Dragging back onto an earlier cell of your path truncates it there.
5. Win Condition
- The path must cover every cell on the board.
- The final cell must be the highest numbered checkpoint.
💡Tips for Success
1. Look Ahead to the Next Mark
- Plan a corridor toward the next number before you fill side pockets.
2. Don’t Trap Empty Regions
- Leaving an enclosed empty area with no way in will force a restart.
3. Use Backtracking Liberally
- Pulling the path backward is faster than clearing the whole board.
4. Start Small
- 5×5 boards teach the rhythm; step up to 6×6 and 7×7 when you’re ready.
