Untangle

Drag the dots until no lines cross.

About Untangle

A knot of lines, a set of dots, and one calming task: pull the tangle apart until not a single line crosses another. Every puzzle is guaranteed untangleable — the mess was made from a clean layout, and your job is to find the way back. Crossing lines glow red, clean ones green, and the moment everything turns green is genuinely satisfying. More vertices each level, more chaos to comb straight. Free to play in your browser — no download, no sign-up.

How to Play

Drag any dot to move it; lines follow. Red lines cross something; green lines are clear. Untangle the whole web — zero crossings — to finish the level.

Tips & Strategy

Start with the busiest dot — the one trailing the most red — and drag it well clear of the crowd, out toward open space.

Think in territory: dots that share lines want to be neighbours. Herd connected clusters into their own corners and the borders sort themselves.

Spread outward. Most tangles unfold into a rough ring or mesh, so pulling dots apart toward the edges resolves more crossings than shuffling them centrally.

Endgame: with one or two red lines left, don't drag their endpoints wildly — slide one endpoint around the outside of the offending line and watch the count hit zero.
