Read the numbers. Fill the grid. A picture comes out of it. The numbers beside each row and column count runs of filled squares. Read them, fill what must be filled, cross out what cannot be ā and an image rises out of the grid. YOU NEVER HAVE TO GUESS Every puzzle is checked by a solver before you ever see it: if it cannot be finished by logic alone, it is not shipped. That is a property of the puzzle, not a promise in a 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 ā 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 ā 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 ā Bronze, Silver, Gold, Sapphire ā that get trickier as you climb. The first three levels are free ā 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 ā never a subscription - Plays completely offline Just a clean puzzle and a fresh tangle every day.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Untangle Dots at none against Nonogram Darkroom's shown. Nonogram Darkroom's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
