Netwalk: a guide for your next round
A careful first move helps you understand the round. Rotate tiles to form one connected network reaching every cell, without loose ends or loops. Try the rule on the board, then read the next instruction. A new 5×5 network is created and its tiles are rotated. Keep the goal in mind before your next move.
Random 5×5 spanning-tree layouts are solvable by construction. Unique solution is not claimed; every valid connected, loop-free solution is accepted.
Practice beyond the first move
Keep the goal in view while choosing a move. Every cable end must meet the corresponding end of a neighbouring tile; no cable may point outside the board.
The challenge in front of you
Use the controls beside the game rather than guessing the rules. Rotate tiles to form one connected network reaching every cell, without loose ends or loops. Try the rule on the board, then read the next instruction.
The order of play
- A new 5×5 network is created and its tiles are rotated.
- Tap a tile to turn it clockwise by a quarter-turn. Tiles connected to the central server light up.
- Every cable end must meet the corresponding end of a neighbouring tile; no cable may point outside the board.
- Connect all 25 cells in one network. The finish check accepts any valid complete network, not just the generator’s saved orientation.
Input guidance
Take a moment to check the current turn. Tap network tiles to rotate. Use Undo for the previous rotation and New puzzle for another generated layout. Start a new round when you are ready to try again.
Put the rules into context
A careful first move helps you understand the round. A tile with north and east cables connects only to matching south and west cables on those neighbours. Keep the goal in mind before your next move.
A useful caution
Take a moment to check the current turn. A tile glowing green only means it reaches the server. The whole board also needs every end matched and all cells connected. Keep the goal in mind before your next move.
Read these answers for extra help
On this page, what is the aim of Netwalk?
Rotate tiles to form one connected network reaching every cell, without loose ends or loops. The instructions above use these same rules.
During a round, how do the controls work?
Tap network tiles to rotate. Use Undo for the previous rotation and New puzzle for another generated layout. The controls work with mouse or touch.
During a round, can you show an example?
A tile with north and east cables connects only to matching south and west cables on those neighbours. Scores here do not represent cash or prizes.
For this game, which mistake should I avoid?
A tile glowing green only means it reaches the server. The whole board also needs every end matched and all cells connected. The instructions above use these same rules.
On this page, what rules and limits are used here?
Random 5×5 spanning-tree layouts are solvable by construction. Unique solution is not claimed; every valid connected, loop-free solution is accepted. Keep the current game state in view while applying this rule.
On this page, how many people can play here?
Solo. This is local browser play, not internet matchmaking. The controls work with mouse or touch.
On this page, why are some tiles green?
They have a chain of matching cable ends to the central server. Use the labelled controls for your next action.
Can a cable leave the board?
No. This version has fixed boundaries and no wrapping. The game is played locally in your browser.
During a round, is every puzzle solvable?
The generator starts from a connected tree and rotates its tiles, so the original orientation is a valid solution. The controls work with mouse or touch.
On this page, must I find exactly the stored answer?
No. Any orientation with all ends matched, all cells connected and no loop completes the puzzle. You can start a new round from the game controls.
