Connect the Dots by Joyce

Connect the matching symbols, fill every square, and don't cross your own lines. That's the whole game. Easy to learn, calming to play. Over 4,700 hand-checked puzzles across 13 board sizes, from a quick 3x3 to a brain-bending 15x15. A fresh batch of 10 each day and 30 each week, so you never run out. Choose "Pick my level" for the sizes you want, or "Surprise me" for any size of random board. Cost? Free. Ads? None. Subscription? None How many boards until I need to upgrade? You get all of them. There is no upgrade. Your data? None of my business. This is a gift to the community. Requested by G.I. at Laney College in Oakland, California: "I always get ads for these games but it's click bait/bail and switch because it's never the game you want to play or as advertised. Essentially you're connecting the color dots or balls and you can't cross lines. Would it be possible to create this game that maybe has different levels? -G.I." Here you go G.I. -- my gift to you and the rest of the community. Happy Father's Day. As usual: No cost. No ads. No data collection. No need for Wi-Fi or cellular data once downloaded. Full privacy as it should be. Thanks for being you and making the world a better place. Enjoy, with my compliments. Joyce Feedback and user experience welcome -- or if you'd like me to pass along a thank-you to G.I. for requesting this: Joyce@Success4ttitude.com It lives in your pocket and asks for so little: a grid and some dots and a path through the middle. Each dot wants its match, marooned on the board -- draw the line that will reach it, taut as a cord. No crossing, no kinking; no cell left bare-- each color a thread drawn home to its pair. A few crack at a touch--half solved as you start; some seize up and hold you and won't come apart, a knot you'd swear hopeless--and then something gives: the whole tangle loosens, and suddenly lives. A plane over ocean. A train underground. A blackout at midnight with no one around. The deck never empties, and won't make you stay, so wherever you wander, there's one more to play. And that certain click when the last dot lands true-- the door's standing open. When you want to, you do. Maybe one more. Or not. Nothing here to be won. A quiet grid, solved clean. A quiet mind. Done.
