How to play Untangle
- Drag any purple knot anywhere inside the board. Its attached lines follow continuously.
- The counter above the board shows how many unrelated line pairs still cross. Lines may meet only at a shared knot.
- The timer stops and the answer checks automatically when the crossing count reaches zero.
Your first useful move
Move a crowded point into open space and inspect the edges attached to it. Aim to reduce crossings without dragging those edges across an already clear part of the drawing.
