Untangle

Level 1
Drag dots to untangle

How to Play Untangle

Untangle is a relaxing line puzzle game where you rearrange dots to eliminate all crossing lines. Based on classic graph theory, this untangle puzzle challenges your spatial reasoning and patience.

  1. Look at the tangled web of connected dots
  2. Drag any dot to a new position
  3. Your goal: arrange dots so no lines cross
  4. The counter shows remaining crossings to solve

Puzzle Strategy

Start by identifying dots with the fewest connections - these are easiest to position first. Work from the outside in, creating a rough shape before fine-tuning. Every graph puzzle in Untangle has at least one solution where no lines cross. Take your time; there's no timer pressure in this brain-teasing line puzzle game!

Math Fact: This game is based on planar graph theory. A planar graph can always be drawn without edge crossings - your job is to find that arrangement!
