About Lantern Links: A Calm One-Stroke Connection Puzzle

Lantern Links is a calm one-stroke connection puzzle set on a night river board filled with glowing lanterns. The goal is straightforward: draw a line from each lantern to its matching twin of the same colour, and cover every tile on the board in the process. Lines can never cross, turning each level into a small tangle to untie. You'll find no timers and no way to lose, so the pace is entirely yours to set.

Boards start at a 5×5 grid with three colours and grow to larger layouts with up to eight colours. Every board is generated solvable, so the challenge always has an answer waiting to be found.

How to Play Lantern Links: Fill Every Tile to Complete Each Level

Draw a glowing link from a lantern to its twin of the same colour. Links cannot cross one another, and they cannot pass through other lanterns. The level is complete only when every tile on the board is covered — matching the lanterns alone is not enough.

To redraw a link, grab it anywhere along its existing line and drag to reroute it. If a path has you stuck, the hint button lights up one complete link for you.

Progress is saved automatically, so leaving and returning picks up exactly where things left off.
