Dot Link is a path-drawing puzzle. Each board holds pairs of numbered, coloured dots; drag a line from each dot to its partner. Lines can bend but never cross or share a square — and the board is only solved when every square is used. Thirty boards grow from 5×5 to 9×9 with up to ten pairs. Draw each pair in a single move for a perfect three-star clear.
How to play Dot Link
Goal: Join every pair of matching dots and cover every square of the board.
Keyboard & mouse
- Drag from a dot to its matching number
- Drag back along a path to shorten it; drawing through another path cuts it
- Keyboard: arrows move, Enter picks up a dot then arrows draw, Enter again drops
- U or Ctrl+Z to undo, H for a hint, P or Escape to pause
Phone & tablet
- Drag from a dot to its partner with your finger
- Undo and Hint buttons below the board
Rules
- Each number appears twice: connect the two dots with one path.
- Paths move between neighbouring squares (no diagonals) and cannot cross.
- Every square must be part of a path to finish the board.
- A move counts each time you switch to drawing a different pair. Moves = pairs for 3 stars (no hints).
Tips and strategy
- Dots on the edge often hug the wall — try running their path along it first.
- If two pairs are close together, draw the shorter one first.
- Empty pockets left at the end mean a path should have taken a detour through them.
