Loose Ends

About Loose Ends: Calm Arrow Puzzle with Endless Levels

Loose Ends is a calm, addictive arrow puzzle where the board fills with colorful lines, each tipped with an arrow pointing in a specific direction. The goal is straightforward: clear every line off the board by sliding them away in the right order. Tap a line and it moves toward its arrow's direction — but only when the path to the edge is clear. Get the sequence wrong and lines bump back, costing a heart. Get it right and the board empties with satisfying precision.

Endless levels keep the challenge going, and every single one is guaranteed solvable. Every 5th level steps up the difficulty, and every 10th is a boss level that cuts the margin for error down to just 2 hearts. Quick successive moves build combos for more sparks, and flawless clears earn stars. A ranking system spans 20 tiers from Novice to Mythic, tracking a growing IQ score along the way. A daily puzzle with streak tracking, reward chests, and six visual themes — Neon, Candy, Chalk, Ocean, Sunset, and Gold — round out the experience. The game is available in 12 languages.

How to Play Loose Ends: Clear the Board in the Right Order

The objective is to slide every line off the board. Select a line and it travels in the direction its arrow points — but only if nothing blocks its path to the edge. If another line sits in the way, the selected line bumps back and a heart is lost. Three mistakes restart the level; boss levels allow only 2 hearts before a restart.

Tips

• Start with lines that already have a clear path — removing them opens routes for the lines behind them.
• Chaining quick moves in a row builds a combo that earns more sparks.
• When stuck, the hint button (light bulb) can point the way forward.

Controls

• Touch or mouse click: Select and slide a line in its arrow's direction
