Surround each clue with lines to form one single loop! Each puzzle consists of a rectangular lattice of dots with some clues in various places. The object is to connect the dots surrounding each clue so that the number of lines equals the value of the clue and the lines around all clues form one continuous loop with no crossings or branches. Empty squares may be surrounded by any number of lines. Slitherlink are addictive loop-forming puzzles which were invented in Japan.

The flow puzzles you've played before... were they ever actually hard? Flow Link is built for people who want real puzzles — and this update is our biggest leap yet. 【 ENIGMA MODE — difficulty beyond the limits of this genre 】 For people who truly love solving: • No hints, no solve button — not even the endpoint glow when you drag. Junk-filling is blocked too. Just you and pure logic. • Color Switchers: the two dots you connect aren't the same color anymore. • Ghost Dots: some colors show extra dots, but only two of them connect. Find the decoy. • Portals, Rotors, and boards that mix several mechanics at once. • No linear gates — pick a mechanic, start on any level you like. Beat one and you've earned the right to brag. ※ Enigma access: included with VIP and Ad-Free, or watch one ad per session. 【 FREE PICK — play whatever you feel like 】 A library of levels from every mode, organized by mechanic and board size. No unlock order. ※ Same access as Enigma mode. 【 THE MAIN JOURNEY — free, with zero interstitial ads 】 Pick the style that fits you, across 22,000+ total levels: • Kids: small boards, bright colors, fun for the whole family. • Normal: a relaxed climb through a world map of 6,000+ levels. • Time Attack: the same puzzles, half the time. • Extreme: massive two-floor boards with portals, bombs, keys and arrows — the game physically blocks junk-filling as you drag, and every level is machine-verified to have exactly one solution. No interstitial ads pop up between levels, anywhere on the journey. (Optional rewarded ads exist for bonus rewards — watching one is always your choice.) Ready to find out where you rank?

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Slitherlink at none against Flow Link's shown. Flow Link's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
