The rule
How to play
Each numbered clue must grow into exactly that many cells. Drag out from a clue to grow its line; drag back toward it to shorten. The puzzle is solved when every cell of the grid is covered and every clue has grown to exactly its number.
A line grows straight out from its clue, and stops at the wall, at another clue, or at another line.
A clue can never grow past its own number — the grid pushes back when it’s full.
In Branches, one clue may send arms in several directions; together they must total its number.
Lines never overlap, and when you’re done not one cell is left empty.
Modes
Two ways to grow
Lines grows one straight run from each clue. Branches lets a clue send arms in several directions. Same quiet rule, a very different feel.
- No guessing, ever
Every board has exactly one solution, reachable by pure logic. If you’re stuck, a hint always names a real next move — never a coin flip.
- Hundreds of puzzles
Easy to Expert across both modes, every board machine-verified to have a single solution and to be solvable without a single guess.
- Calm by design
Soft day & night themes, colour palettes including a high-contrast one, gentle motion (or none at all), and a Zen mode with no timer.
Garden
A garden that grows with you
Every puzzle you solve earns water and a seed. Spend them on a meadow of flowers, bushes and trees that keeps growing, sign-in and all.
Daily
A new puzzle every day
A fresh daily in both modes each morning. Keep your streak alive and compare your times with other solvers on the daily leaderboard.
- A rest day, earned
Play a week in a row and you earn a rest day, so one missed morning does not undo the month behind it.
- Compare your time
The daily leaderboard shows how the rest of today's solvers got on.
