Play the Dot Path Puzzle in your browser—no download, no sign-up. You get a grid with dots and obstacles. Your goal is to draw a single continuous path that visits every dot exactly once, without crossing obstacles or revisiting cells.

What is Dot Path Puzzle?

Dot Path is a logic puzzle on a rectangular grid:

• Some cells contain dots.
• Some cells are obstacles.
• The rest are empty.

You must draw a path that:

• Starts on a dot.
• Moves only up, down, left, or right between adjacent cells.
• Never goes through an obstacle.
• Never visits the same cell twice (except when undoing/backtracking).
• Visits all dots at least once before finishing.

When you’ve visited all dots with a single continuous path, the puzzle is complete.

How to Play

1. Choose a difficulty (Easy, Medium, or Hard). Harder levels use larger grids and more dots.
2. Start on any dot:
   • Click a dot, or
   • Move the keyboard cursor to a dot and press Enter.
3. Extend the path:
   • Drag with the mouse across adjacent cells, or
   • Use arrow keys/WASD to move from the current end of the path.
4. You cannot:
   • Move diagonally.
   • Cross or enter obstacle cells.
   • Jump over gaps (moves must be between direct neighbors).
   • Revisit a cell that’s already in the path (other than undoing the last step).
5. Finish when all dots have been visited. A completion banner and modal show your time.

Controls

Mouse / Touch

• Click and drag from one dot to adjacent cells to draw the path.
• Dragging back over the previous cell will undo (backtrack) the last segment.

Keyboard

• Arrow keys / WASD: Move the path from its current end in that direction, if valid.
• Enter / Space:
  • If no path yet → start on the highlighted dot.
  • Otherwise → attempt to extend/backtrack at the current cell.
• Backspace: Undo the last step of the path.
• Escape: Clear the entire current path and start over.

You can click the board or use Tab to focus it before using the keyboard.

Difficulty Levels

• Easy (8×8) – Medium-sized grid with a moderate number of dots and obstacles. Good for warming up.
• Medium (10×10) – Larger grid with more dots and obstacles. Requires thinking a few steps ahead.
• Hard (12×12) – Big grid, many dots and obstacles. Longer paths and more planning required.

Each puzzle is generated so that there is at least one valid solution path that visits all dots without crossing obstacles.

Strategy Tips

• Look ahead – Avoid trapping yourself by filling narrow corridors too early.
• Use undo/backtrack – If a move looks bad, undo and try another branch.
• Avoid single-cell traps – Try not to create isolated free cells that can’t be reached later in the path.
• Work from both ends – Sometimes it helps to mentally plan from start and from where you want to finish.
