Snakepath

Thread a single unbroken chain of numbers through the grid — each value touching the one that follows it.

How to play

A few numbers are placed as clues. Fill in the rest so the grid contains every value from 1 up to N squared, and consecutive numbers always sit in neighboring cells — horizontally, vertically or diagonally — forming one continuous path.

• Use each number from 1 to the grid's maximum exactly once
• Each number must touch the next, with diagonal neighbors allowed
• Given clue numbers are locked and can't be changed

Controls

• Desktop: click a cell then type a number; use arrow keys to move and Backspace to clear. Or tap a number on the pad and click cells to place it. Hint and Reset buttons.
• Phone & tablet: tap a number on the on-screen pad, then tap cells to fill them; the erase key clears.

Game modes

• Easy 5×5, Medium 6×6 and Hard 7×7 grids
• Daily puzzle for everyone, plus unlimited Practice

Tips & strategy

• Work outward from the given clues, filling the numbers immediately before and after each one
• When two clues are close, count the steps between them — that fixes the path of the numbers in between
• Red highlighting flags a broken step or a duplicate, so use it to backtrack quickly
