Reds Winding Way

Instant play

Red needs to reach Grandmas cottage, and the path through the woods is missing. You get a fixed shelf of road tiles: drag them onto the board, tap to turn them, and connect Red to the door. The trees will not move, and a door only opens from the side its arrow points at. 100 levels across four woodland tiers, from 5x4 clearings to 7x5 tangles. Later the Wolf wants a door of his own — two paths on one board, neither crossing. Every level is machine-proven solvable. No timer, ever. Five soundtracks, ten languages, and boards that unlock as you clear them, so you can jump back to any level you have already reached. Mouse or touch: drag a tile from the shelf onto an empty square, tap it to turn it, drag it back to the shelf to take it off. Nothing is timed and nothing is lost — a puzzle that looks impossible is only ever hiding its answer.
