How to play Dot Weaver
Every puzzle is a board of empty squares and a few coloured dots. Drag from a dot and lay a pipe, one square at a time, until you reach the other dot of that colour. Pipes cannot cross. If you draw across a pipe that is already there, you cut it and that colour lifts off the board.
The puzzle is solved when every pair is joined and every square is part of a pipe. A square left blank is not a win, even if all the colours are connected.
Levels and stars
There are 72 puzzles, checked so each one has a solution. They start at 5 by 5 and grow to 10 by 10. A move is counted when you touch a new colour. Finish in few moves for more stars.
A hint, up to three per puzzle, draws one correct pipe after a short ad. Undo and reset are free.
Tips and tricks
- Join the colours that sit in a corner first. They have fewer ways out.
- If two pipes would have to cross, one of them is in the wrong corridor. Cut it and try the other side.
- Count the empty squares. A finished board has none.
- If you skip a hint ad you get no pipe, but the button stays so you can try again.
