One line. Every square. A calm, surprisingly deep path puzzle: trace the numbers in order โ€” 1, 2, 3 โ€” and fill the whole grid with a single stroke. A fresh daily puzzle turns spare minutes into the perfect little brain break. โ–  How to play - Start your line at 1 - Pass the numbers in order: 1 โ†’ 2 โ†’ 3 โ€ฆ - Visit every open square exactly once (dark blocks are walls) - Finish on the last number. Drag back to erase, or touch any point on your line to redraw from there โ–  Why you'll like it - Always fair: every board is checked by a solver, so there is exactly one solution โ€” no guessing - Endless boards: puzzles are generated on your device and prepared in advance, so there's no waiting - Daily puzzle: the same board for everyone each day โ€” build your streak - Four difficulties: gentle 6ร—6, 7ร—7, hard 8ร—8 and a fiendish 8ร—8 - Ranks: climb from Novice to Grandmaster; harder boards count for more - Progress: clears, streaks, best times and no-hint rate - Dark mode, in English and Japanese โ–  Made for you ifโ€ฆ - You want a quick, satisfying "solved!" on a commute or coffee break - You love logic puzzles but dislike ambiguous ones - You'd like a small daily habit that keeps your mind moving - You prefer a clean, quiet, grown-up design โ–  Private by design - No account or sign-in - Your progress stays on your device and is never sent to a server - Puzzles are generated and played offline - The only network use is reading public App Store information to show other apps from the same developer - No third-party ads or tracking
