Pathknot
Pathknot is a path drawing puzzle that plays in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, for one player. It has a daily challenge, the same for everyone that day.
Draw one path through every cell exactly once, starting on 1, passing the numbers in order and ending on the highest. Each day has a small, medium and large puzzle with exactly one solution, and bigger boards add walls the path cannot cross. Your time and back-ups make a result line you can copy, and practice gives a fresh 6×6.
How to play
- Drag from 1 to draw your path from cell to cell
- Pass the numbers in order, and fill every cell exactly once
- Drag back to undo. Thick lines are walls. Finish on the last number
The game shows these steps as you play, the first time.
Controls
- Drag from the end of the path; drag back or tap an earlier cell to back up
- Arrows or WASD extend, Backspace backs up, H hints
Tips
- The last number refuses the path until every other cell is filled, and numbers out of turn are refused too, so a move that will not take is a clue.
- Hint first cuts the path back to the last cell that matches the solution, counting each cell removed as a back-up, then draws one correct cell and counts one hint.
- Walls arrive on a schedule: Large always has them, Medium only from Friday to Sunday, Small never; practice boards are 6×6 and sometimes walled.
What does the result line show?
Your time and the number of back-ups, with hints added if you used any, for a given day and size. Every cell removed when you drag back or tap an earlier cell counts as a back-up. Copy result puts the line on the clipboard, and a path with no back-ups and no hints is called clean.
Is there a best time?
Not across days, since each day brings three new puzzles, but today's fastest solve for each size is kept and shown on the start card, and you can solve a puzzle again to improve it. Practice puzzles are not counted at all.
