Waypoints

Liner notes

How to play

• Draw from the start S: drag with a finger or mouse, or use the arrow keys. Each square takes one tile of path.
• Visit every waypoint ○, in any order, then end at the finish F. The path can’t cross blocks or itself.
• Turns are limited (the Turns left counter); straights are free. Drag back along the path, press Backspace or tap one of its tiles to take some back.
• Par is the fewest tiles the turns allow. Any finished path finishes the puzzle; matching par is the best result.
• A new puzzle comes every day, and every past day can be played. Your results are kept in this browser.

Questions

Is it the same puzzle for everyone?

Yes. Each day’s puzzle comes from the date alone, so everyone on the same day gets the same one. A new puzzle arrives at midnight, your time.

What is par?

The fewest tiles any path can use within the day’s turns, worked out when the puzzle is made. Any finished path finishes the puzzle; matching par is the best you can do.

Does it get harder?

Through the week, yes. Monday has two waypoints and turns to spare; Sunday has four and not a turn more than it needs.

Can I play earlier days?

Yes, every one since puzzle #1 on 1 October 2026. Use Previous and Next, or pick a day under Your puzzles.

Can I play on a phone?

Yes. Drag with a finger to draw; the page doesn’t scroll while your finger is on the board.
