You play by dragging rope ends, with your finger on a phone or a held mouse button on a laptop. Grab the knob at either end of a rope and drop it on any free peg — the rope stretches and sags like real elastic.

Two rules make it a puzzle:

• Dragging an end moves that end of the rope to a free peg. Each peg holds one end, and a dropped rope always lands on top of the pile.
• The pin rule means a rope crossed by ropes above it is stuck — grabbing it just makes it shake and flashes whatever is pinning it. Free the top ropes first.

The bar above the board shows how untangled you are, and the counter shows crossings left. From level four onward there's also a move limit — running out means retrying the same tangle.

Hint performs the next unweaving move for you. Boards, rope counts and starting knots all grow across eight levels.

Tips

• Peel from the top. The rope on top of the pile is never pinned, so when you're stuck, find the highest rope that still crosses something and move that one — it always works.
• Use the empty pegs as parking. Free pegs are a resource. Parking a troublesome rope on two quiet pegs at the edge clears space and un-pins everything that was trapped beneath it.
• Watch what you drop on top. Every drop lands over everything else, so laying a rope across the middle can pin ropes you still need to move. Land it somewhere clear.
• Shorten before you re-route. Moving an end to a nearby peg first can slip a rope out of several crossings at once, where a long throw across the board might create new ones.
• Mind the move limit. On later levels, each drag counts. Read the tangle before touching it and plan which two or three moves actually reduce crossings instead of shuffling ropes around.
• Let the Hint teach you. Hint replays the scramble in reverse, which is exactly how a perfect solver would unweave it — watching a couple of hints shows you the peeling pattern to copy.
