How to Play
🖥️ On Computer:
Click once anywhere to start your first line. Then drag the line to the end location
Click again to end that line and start the next one from that point
Each line must connect to the previous one (continuous path)
Right-click or press ESC to cancel the current line
📱 On Mobile/Tablet:
Touch the screen wherever you want to start your line. Then drag your finger to draw the line - it will automatically straighten
Lines will snap together when you start another line (touching the screen again) near the end of the previous line
All lines must form one continuous path
📏 Rules:
✓ Connect all 9 dots
✓ Use only straight lines
✓ Lines must be connected in one continuous path
✓ No lifting your "pen" between lines
💡 Tips:
Think "outside the box" - literally!
