How to play
- Goal
- Pair all circles with separate zigzag paths that fill every cell.
- How it ends
- The chart is won when every circle has one link, every interior cell turns ninety degrees, all cells are covered, and each path joins exactly two circles without branching or looping; Undo repairs marks.
- Record
- Your first unassisted solve of each chart is kept in this browser; verified solves under twenty-four hours compete for fastest-time records. Replays are practice.
- Join neighbouring cell centres horizontally or vertically. Each circle is an endpoint with one link; each other cell has two perpendicular links.
- Fill every cell exactly once with separate paths. Every path joins exactly two circles. No loops, branches, crossings or paths through another circle.
- Circles have no fixed partners. Adjacent circles may pair directly. Separate paths may touch beside or diagonally without joining.
- Select Path, Cross or Erase. Tap two neighbouring cells or drag between them. Crosses are optional excluded-edge notes. Undo repairs marks; Restart keeps the original first clock running.

Can paths touch?
Yes. Separate paths may touch beside or diagonally without joining.
Can a path join adjacent circles?
Yes. A one-edge path is allowed.
