Lantern Lines
Lantern Lines is a free cozy connection puzzle you can play instantly in your browser. Each board scatters pairs of colored lanterns across a twilight garden, and your job is to draw a glowing path between every matching pair. The catch: no two paths may cross, so every route you draw changes what is possible for the rest of the board. Early boards are gentle warm-ups, while later layouts ask you to plan several lantern routes ahead. Shorter, tidier paths and quicker solves earn a better score, but there is no fail state pressure — just quiet planning and the satisfying moment when the whole board lights up. Draw paths with a mouse on desktop or a fingertip on phones and tablets, with no download or install needed.
