Netwalk

Rotate network tiles until every active tile connects back to the server in one clean network.

Rules

  • Each active tile contains fixed connectors that may only be rotated.
  • Every connector must meet a matching connector on the neighboring tile.
  • Connectors may not point off the board or into empty cells.
  • The puzzle is solved when every active tile connects to the server and the finished network has no loops.

Tips

  • Start at the server. Expand outward from the known connected region and fix obvious dead ends first.
  • Watch the borders. Edge and corner tiles have fewer legal orientations because they cannot point off the board.
  • Lock confirmed tiles. Once a branch is clearly correct, lock it to avoid undoing progress while tracing the rest of the network.
