Find a path that visits every square in the grid, avoiding walls and never crossing itself, to create one continuous circuit.
To get the hang of things, start with one of the simple 4x4 grids. Plot your moves carefully. Try to think ahead; not just by one square, but by four or five. If you think you've made a mistake, trace back over your line. It will disappear.
If you really get stuck, press Hints. Any mistakes will turn red, then disappear. But if you're on the right path, we'll add a line.
There's only one solution for every puzzle. When you find it, you'll know.
Puzzles start with 4x4 grids and go all the way to 20x20. The bigger puzzles are very challenging and can take hours to solve. If you have to quit in the middle of one, don't worry: your progress is automatically saved.
Many find working on these circuits meditative; others reach for the ibuprofen. But no matter which camp you find yourself in, know you're exercising your abstract thinking skills and challenging your brain in ways that actually matter.
Inspired by a puzzle created by Irish mathematician William Rowan Hamilton in 1856, these circuits start off easy and get hard. Really hard. Good luck!

What's New in The Hamiltonian Circuit

We fixed a problem that caused the music to start playing when you completed a puzzle and went to the next one, even if you had turned off music in the settings.
Started playing this after seeing the developer n Jeopardy. The puzzles is great, and reminiscent of other circuit completion puzzles like Nikoli Slitherlink, and Kaser’s Willa’s Walk.
So why four stars?
The app itself feels like a minimum-viable product and could use a little more work. In particular, the lack of an undo/redo button is not great. I find myself having to hit reset if I paint myself into a corner and would prefer to tap undo a few times.
Also when you start the app up, you have to do some menu diving to get to your last puzzle. This shouldn’t require more than a single tap.
