Rules, controls and help for Netwalk
Check the rule below as you play. Rotate tiles to form one connected network reaching every cell, without loose ends or loops. A new 5×5 network is created and its tiles are rotated. Try the rule on the board, then read the next instruction.
Random 5×5 spanning-tree layouts are solvable by construction. Unique solution is not claimed; every valid connected, loop-free solution is accepted.
A focus for your next round
The board gives you the information needed for the next action. Every cable end must meet the corresponding end of a neighbouring tile; no cable may point outside the board.
What you need to achieve
Take a moment to check the current turn. Rotate tiles to form one connected network reaching every cell, without loose ends or loops.
Making your moves
- 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.
Using the playing area
A careful first move helps you understand the round. Tap network tiles to rotate. Use Undo for the previous rotation and New puzzle for another generated layout. Keep the goal in mind before your next move.
An example to follow
Use the controls beside the game rather than guessing the rules. A tile with north and east cables connects only to matching south and west cables on those neighbours.
Keep this in mind
A careful first move helps you understand the round. A tile glowing green only means it reaches the server. The whole board also needs every end matched and all cells connected. Try the rule on the board, then read the next instruction.
