Frequently Asked Questions
Can lines cross each other?
No, that is the core rule! Lines cannot cross, and they cannot overlap. Every path must be distinct.
Must every square be filled?
Yes. A "perfect" Numberlink puzzle requires the player to fill every single empty square on the grid with a pipe/line.
Can I use letters instead of numbers?
Yes! You can customize the endpoints to be Numbers (1, 2, 3), Letters (A, B, C), or even Symbols/Shapes depending on your book's theme.
