How to play Numberlink
- Drag from either numbered endpoint through cells above, below, left or right until it reaches the matching number.
- Paths cannot cross or share a cell. Every open cell must belong to exactly one path; dark blocked cells, when shown, cannot be entered.
- To change a long route, press any cell already on that path. It trims back to that point so you can drag a new ending from there.
Your first useful move
Give long routes enough room. Every open square must belong to a path, so a short connection can be wrong if it strands empty cells that no other pair can reach.
