Two lines
Two Lines presents a deceptively simple premise: on a tidy grid, pairs of colored dots await connection. Your task is to draw two unbroken paths that link each set of matching hues, all while ensuring the lines never intersect or stray beyond the board's edge. What begins as a gentle warm-up quickly evolves into a series of spatial conundrums that demand careful planning and a steady hand. The beauty of Two Lines lies in its purity. There are no timers, no distractions—just you and the puzzle. Each level offers a fresh arrangement of dots that nudges your brain to think several steps ahead. As the grid becomes denser, you'll learn to anticipate obstacles and weave your lines through tight spaces. It's a meditative yet stimulating experience that rewards patience and precision, making it an ideal pick for anyone who enjoys a quiet mental workout.

What is Two lines
Two Lines is a minimalist puzzle game that tests your ability to plan ahead. Draw two paths to connect matching dots without crossing either line.
How to Play
Use your mouse or touch to drag a continuous line from one dot to its matching partner. Complete both connections without letting the lines touch or cross each other.
Tips for Playing
- Start with the dots closest to the edges, as they have fewer routing options.
- Look at the entire board before drawing, and visualize both paths at once.
- Leave ample space between your lines early on to avoid blocking yourself.
- If stuck, try redoing the line that seems most constrained first.
- Work outward inward—it often opens up the middle for trickier pairs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can lines touch each other?
No, any contact between the two lines—even at a point—will invalidate the solution.
What happens if a line crosses the grid border?
Lines must stay within the grid area; going outside the playfield causes a restart of that level.
Are there multiple ways to solve a puzzle?
Some levels may have more than one valid solution, but the key is that both pairs connect without crossing.
Do I need to connect dots in a specific order?
No order is enforced, but the path you draw first will affect the freedom you have for the second line.
Is there a time limit?
No, you can take as long as you need to plan each move.
What if I make a mistake?
You can simply clear your current line and redraw it until you find a working solution.
