What is Dot Link Puzzle - Connect the Dots?

Dot Link Puzzle, also listed as Connect the Dots, is a connection puzzle on a square grid. Each board shows pairs of colored dots, and your job is to join every pair with a line of its own color without crossing another line. The page describes it as connecting matching dots without crossing paths. In the levels I played, every square also had to be covered, and the board showed Moves, Lines and Fill counters that reached Fill 100% when a level was solved.

First steps

  1. Wait for the loader to reach the Ok, Play Now button, click it, and the level menu opens.
  2. Pick the Basic mode and the Beginner bundle, which uses 5 by 5 boards, and open level 1.
  3. Drag from one colored dot to its matching dot, moving through neighboring squares only.
  4. Check the Fill counter after each line. When all lines are drawn and Fill reads 100%, the LEVEL COMPLETE popup appears.
  5. Tap NEXT LEVEL, and once the 5 by 5 boards feel easy, try the Easy Peasy bundle with 6 by 6 boards.

Who it's for

It suits anyone who likes quiet logic puzzles and does not want a timer or lives. It is easy to pick up for a few minutes, and the larger grids give more experienced puzzle fans something to chew on.
