How to play
- Goal
- Connect every circle into groups with one grey anchor and equal numbers of pale and dark circles.
- How it ends
- The chart is won when every group is balanced, each has one grey anchor, and straight links neither cross nor join pale directly to dark; there is no loss, and Undo lets you repair links.
- Record
- Your first unassisted solve of each chart earns a fastest-time record; replays are practice.
- Choose Link, then tap two circles in the same row or column, or drag between them. Join only the nearest visible circles: another circle blocks a longer link. Links cannot cross in empty space.
- Pale and dark circles cannot join directly. Matching colours and grey anchors may join. Every connected group must contain exactly one grey anchor and equal numbers of pale and dark circles. A lone grey anchor is legal: zero equals zero. Branches and cycles are allowed.
- Blocked-link notes are optional. Undo or Redo a link; cancelled drags leave the chart unchanged. Complete all groups to win. Restart clears your links while the original first clock keeps running.

Tips for Kohi Gyunyu
- Count around an anchor A group with three pale circles needs three dark circles and exactly one grey anchor.
