A solved 6×6 from the game.
Three rules
The board holds pairs of T3rminators, each pair in its own colour. Draw paths so that:
Join every pair
One path runs from each T3rminator to the other of its colour, square by square — up, down, left or right, never diagonally.
No crossings
Paths never cross or share a square, and a path never runs through a T3rminator of another colour.
Every square used
When the puzzle is solved, every square of the board is on exactly one path.
Playing
On a phone, put a finger on a T3rminator and swipe along the squares. With a mouse, click a T3rminator, then click the squares beside it one at a time. Going back over a path shortens it; a new path that runs into another cuts it there. Double-tap a path to clear it.
Every puzzle can be solved by thinking
Each puzzle has exactly one answer, and every step to it can be reasoned out — you never have to guess. The examples below show the ideas, one at a time.
Thinking it through, with pictures
Each example is a real puzzle from the game, before and after one idea. Every example was checked by the T-3 Links engine.
