Connect at least 3, earn 1 point per tile
Connect 1 → 2 → 3, 2 → 3 → 4 or 3 → 4 → 5 to score. A full 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5 path earns 5 points. Move horizontally or vertically, never diagonally, and do not skip numbers. Backtrack one tile to undo your last selection.
Choose your challenge
- Score Challenge
- Start with 90 seconds. Each connected tile adds 0.3 seconds, up to 90 seconds remaining. Choose Relaxed, Progressive or Challenge difficulty.
- Popbot Duel
- Take turns with Popbot on the same board. Choose a target of 30, 50 or 100 points; the first to reach it wins. You have 10 seconds to complete a connection. If time runs out, your turn passes to Popbot without scoring.

Frequently asked questions
How do hints work?
Score Challenge and Popbot Duel offer unlimited hints, one hint per 10 points you score, or no hints. Recharge mode starts with one hint. A hint highlights a valid three-number connection.
What happens when no paths remain?
The board shuffles automatically if no valid path remains. Relaxed mode and the Practice bot also shuffle when paths become scarce.
