Twisted Tangle
Twisted Tangle drops you into a web of twisting threads and tangled connections. Each level presents a jumble of colored paths that overlap in messy knots. Your task is to rotate the circular connectors scattered across the grid, gradually easing every line into a smooth, collision-free layout. The challenge grows as more lines and nodes appear, demanding careful planning and a keen eye for spatial relationships. Success comes from methodical thinking rather than speed. You can rotate any node as many times as needed, and there's no penalty for trial and error. When all lines lie flat without touching, the puzzle clears with a quiet sense of accomplishment. With dozens of hand-crafted stages, Twisted Tangle offers a relaxing yet brain-teasing experience for puzzle lovers of all ages.

What is Twisted Tangle
Twisted Tangle is a thoughtful puzzle experience that tests your ability to visualize connections and solve spatial puzzles. Clear each level by untangling every overlapping line.
How to Play
Click or tap on a node to rotate it, which repositions the attached lines. Keep rotating nodes until all colored lines are separated and none intersect.
Tips for Playing
- Start with nodes that have the most overlapping lines to open up the board.
- Focus on one color at a time to avoid getting overwhelmed.
- Use the process of elimination: if a line can only fit one way, rotate accordingly.
- Don't rush—take your time to think through each move.
- If stuck, try rotating a node multiple times to see all possible layouts.
