How to play
Three rules. Infinite puzzles.
Connect the Dots is a Flow / Numberlink puzzle. The rules fit in one sentence — the solutions can take minutes.
-
Step 01
Two endpoints per colour
Every level starts with a grid where each colour appears exactly twice — one dot at each end of an invisible path. Your job is to find that path for every colour.
-
Step 02
Drag to draw a path
Touch one endpoint and drag toward its twin. The line follows your finger cell by cell. Paths can bend but cannot cross each other — dragging through an existing line cuts it back to where it was drawn.
-
Step 03
Connect all the pairs
The level is solved the moment every colour pair is connected. The intended solution fills the whole board, but you don't have to use every cell — link all the pairs and the level is complete.

FAQ
Common questions.
- What kind of puzzle is this?
- Connect the Dots is a Flow / Numberlink puzzle. Each level is a grid with coloured endpoint pairs. You draw a non-crossing path from each dot to its matching twin, and the level is solved when every pair is connected.
- How many levels are there?
- 500 bundled levels, ranging from 5×5 grids for beginners to 13×13 grids that can take a while to solve. Every puzzle is solvable and plays fully offline — no download, no server.
- What is the Daily Challenge?
- One shared puzzle is published each day. Complete it to mark that day on your calendar and build a streak. Weekly and monthly bonuses reward consistent play. The Daily requires a network connection to fetch the puzzle; if offline, the app falls back to a locally generated board.
- What is Zen mode?
- Zen generates an endless stream of fresh puzzles directly on your device — no server, no repeats. You can set a minimum grid size so Zen always challenges you at the level you enjoy.
- How do I earn hints?
- You start with a tip balance and earn more through Daily Challenge and streak bonuses. When you're out of tips, the TIP button shows an AD badge — a short ad plays and the hint is granted without spending a tip.
- Does the game work without an internet connection?
- Yes — the 500-level pack, Zen mode, and all game logic run entirely offline. The Daily Challenge needs the network to fetch each day's puzzle; if it can't connect it generates a board locally. Ads need connectivity but the game itself does not.
- What does the $3.99 Ad Free purchase do?
- It removes the banner ad and skips interstitial ads between puzzles permanently — one payment, no subscription, no expiry. The purchase is processed by Apple App Store or Google Play; we never see your payment details. You can restore the purchase on a new device for free.
- Will my progress be lost if I reinstall?
- Yes. Progress — completed levels, Daily streak, hint balance, and settings — is stored locally on your device and is not backed up to any cloud. Uninstalling clears it.
