How to play

  1. Draw a single closed loop that moves between neighbouring squares. Tap the space between two squares to draw a line there, and tap it again to erase it.
  2. The loop must pass through every pearl. It never branches and never crosses itself.
  3. On a white pearl the loop goes straight through, and it turns in at least one of the squares next to the pearl.
  4. On a black pearl the loop turns, and it goes straight through both squares next to the pearl. A new daily puzzle arrives every day, and there are thirty levels.

Controls: mouse, touch or keyboard. Made by CalcoTools.

Tips and strategy

  • Black pearls are the strongest clues: the loop must turn on them and run straight out for two squares in each direction.
  • Two black pearls close together, or a black pearl near the edge, often settle part of the loop at once.
  • A white pearl on the edge must run along the edge.
  • Not every square needs a line. The loop only has to pass through the pearls and close up.

FAQ

Does the loop have to fill the grid?
No. It only has to be one closed loop that passes through every pearl.
How do I remove a line?
Tap the same space again. It toggles between drawn and empty.
Can the loop touch itself?
No. Squares on the loop have exactly two lines, so it cannot branch, cross or touch itself.
