🔗 Number Link

📖 Overview

Number Link is a relaxing yet challenging puzzle game where you connect numbers in sequential order. Numbers from 1 to N are scattered across the board, and your job is to link them all in order — but your lines must never cross!

This game tests your spatial planning and strategic thinking. Can you find the perfect path that connects all numbers without any intersections?

📋 Rules

• Connect numbers sequentially: 1→2→3→...→N
• Click numbers in order to draw connecting lines
• Lines between numbers must not cross each other
• You must connect all numbers to complete the puzzle
• If a connection would cause a crossing, it will be rejected
• Use Undo to go back and try a different approach

💡 Tips

• Plan ahead — look at several numbers before clicking
• Numbers near the edges are easier to connect without crossings
• If stuck, use Undo to backtrack and try a different route
• Start with Easy mode to learn the mechanics
• Watch for "bottleneck" areas where lines might get trapped
• Sometimes connecting outer numbers first opens up paths for inner ones

❓ FAQ

Q: Are all puzzles solvable?
A: Yes! Every puzzle is generated with a guaranteed solution where all numbers can be connected in order without any crossings.

Q: Why was my connection rejected?
A: A line between two numbers would cross an existing line. Try undoing a previous connection and taking a different path.

Q: Can I skip a number?
A: No, you must connect numbers in strict sequential order (1→2→3→...→N). You cannot skip ahead.

Q: How is the best time calculated?
A: The timer starts when you make your first connection and stops when you complete the puzzle. Your fastest time per difficulty is saved locally.
