Linko is a calm, beautiful one-line path puzzle. Draw a single unbroken line that visits every numbered dot in order — 1, 2, 3, 4… — and fills every single cell of the grid. Nothing more. Nothing less. No timers ticking against you at low levels. No flashing ads in your face. No b******t. Just you, a grid, and that quiet "got it" moment when the last cell finally clicks into place. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • One simple rule, infinite depth — start at 1, end at the last number, fill every cell. • 5×5 to 10×10 grids — start gentle, grow into puzzles that bend your brain. • Hand-tuned levels — every board is solvable and every board has exactly one elegant path. • A new Daily Puzzle every 24 hours — build a streak, unlock rewards. • Three-star ratings — clear it, then come back and clear it faster. • Calm dark UI with smooth haptics and subtle sounds — pure focus mode. • 100% offline — no signup, no account, plays on the train, in bed, anywhere. PERFECT FOR • Coffee breaks, commutes, waiting rooms • Winding down before sleep without doom-scrolling • Anyone who likes Flow Free, Hashi, Nonogram, or Sudoku • Brain training that actually feels good, not like homework GAMEPLAY 1. Tap the "1" to start your line. 2. Drag through neighboring cells (up/down/left/right) without crossing yourself. 3. Hit every numbered dot in order. 4.
