Link Grid

Read full description

Link Grid is a relaxing number-path puzzle: connect every matching pair of numbers with a single unbroken line, without crossing any other path, until the entire grid is filled. Simple to learn in seconds — deep enough to keep you thinking for months. HOW TO PLAY Drag from one numbered node to its match. Every path you draw has to reach its partner without crossing itself or another colour, and when the whole board is covered, the level is solved. No timers forcing your hand, no penalties for taking your time — just you, the grid, and the satisfaction of a perfect fill. 100 LEVELS, 10 CHAPTERS A hand-tuned difficulty curve takes you from an easy 4x4 warm-up through ten themed chapters, each introducing one new twist before folding it into the puzzles that follow: - Bonus Stars to route your paths through for extra rewards - Stone Walls that block direct routes and force real detours - Locked Doors that only open for their matching colour - One-Way Streets that only let you enter from one direction - Portal Networks that teleport your path across the board - Switches & Gates that only open once another path crosses their switch - Crossing Bridges where two paths pass over each other without connecting The final Convergence and Mastery chapters combine everything you've learned into the toughest grids in the game. DAILY CHALLENGE A brand-new puzzle every day, completely separate from your main progress, with its own streak counter and history strip — so a rough week on the main levels never costs you your streak, and a big campaign push never spoils tomorrow's daily puzzle. EARN YOUR HINTS Hints aren't handed out for free and they don't refill just by restarting — you earn them by clearing a level with all three stars for the first time, or by keeping your Daily Challenge streak alive. When you do use one, it nudges you a few steps along the right path instead of just solving the whole thing for you. MAKE IT YOURS Seven distinct visual themes — from a glowing Neon Grid to a calm Zen Garden, an Ice World, and beyond — plus a colour-blind assist mode that labels every path with its number so colour is never the only clue. CHASE YOUR AWARDS A dozen achievements track everything from your very first connection to flawless no-hint clears, full-chapter sweeps, and long Daily Challenge streaks, each with live progress so you always know how close you are. Link Grid plays entirely offline — no account, no always-on connection required, just open it and start connecting.
