What Amsterdammed is
Amsterdammed asks you to draw one continuous closed loop that passes through every open square exactly once. The loop must not branch, fork, or end in a dead end, and it must avoid the obstacles scattered across the board — houses, windmills, and tulip fields. Every open square must touch the canal exactly twice, meaning the loop enters and leaves each square once.
How to play
To build the canal, drag between adjacent cells to lay segments, and drag back over a segment to erase it. You can also mark a border as 'cannot go' by right-clicking it, or cycle a border through canal, X, and clear with a tap. The puzzle guarantees a unique solution, so careful deduction will always lead to a single correct loop.
Tips
- Focus on squares that have only two possible neighbors for the loop; those two must be the canal entrances.
- Use the X marks liberally to eliminate borders that cannot be part of the loop, which makes the remaining path easier to trace.
Common questions
Do I need an account to play the daily puzzle?
No. The daily puzzle is free to play without signup or download. An account is only needed to access the archive of past puzzles.
How does difficulty change through the week?
The grid grows from 5x5 on Monday to 9x10 on Sunday, so later puzzles have more squares and more complex loops.
