Untangle Dots

Features
Read full description

Untangle is a calm knot puzzle. Every board starts as a tangled web of dots and lines. Drag the dots until no two lines cross — that is the whole game. EVERY PUZZLE CAN BE SOLVED Each board is built from a planar graph, so a crossing-free layout always exists. No dead ends, no luck — just you and the tangle. A NEW PUZZLE EVERY DAY The Daily Puzzle is the same graph for everyone, everywhere. Solve it in as few moves as you can, build a streak, and share a spoiler-free emoji card with friends. The daily is always free. A 200-LEVEL CAMPAIGN Work through 200 levels across 4 tiers — Bronze, Silver, Gold, Sapphire — that get trickier as you climb. The first three levels are free — unlock the full campaign with a single one-time purchase. BEAT PAR Anyone can untangle a board eventually. The real game is doing it in fewer moves than par. A genuine skill ceiling for puzzle lovers. DESIGNED TO RESPECT YOU - No ads - No accounts, no tracking, no data collection - One optional one-time unlock — never a subscription - Plays completely offline Just a clean puzzle and a fresh tangle every day.
