Arrow Puzzle mobile controls for accurate play
The browser game is designed for touch screens, so you can play without installing an app. Accurate mobile solving is less about fast tapping and more about setting a useful view: fit the whole board, zoom into close crossings, and tap the path only after its exit ray is verified.
Tap a path, not an empty cell
Touch the colored line that belongs to the arrow you want to move. The path has a generous touch target, but you should still trace it to the arrowhead first. A successful tap makes the whole path follow its shape and leave in the arrowhead's direction.
If the exit ray is blocked, the path travels toward the obstacle, reverses, and costs a life. This feedback identifies the missed crossing, but careful scanning is safer than using a tap as a test.
Drag without selecting an arrow
Place your finger on open board space and drag to move the view. Panning helps when zoom makes the outer edge or a distant blocker temporarily invisible. After moving the board, re-check which path owns the nearby arrowhead before tapping.
Pinch zoom for dense intersections
Use two fingers to zoom in where paths cross or nearly touch. Your goal is to decide whether a line truly intersects the arrowhead's straight exit ray. Once the crossing is clear, zoom back enough to see the ray continue to the edge.
Avoid solving an entire board at maximum zoom. A local view can hide a distant blocker, which still counts even when it is off screen.
Use fit-to-board as a reset
The fit control restores the full puzzle after panning or zooming. Use it before choosing among several possible exits and after any moment when you lose track of the board boundary. On many touch devices, double-tapping the board also returns to a fitted view.
- Fit the board to find candidate arrowheads.
- Zoom into a close crossing only when necessary.
- Pan so the arrowhead and board edge are both visible.
- Fit again before the final tap on a one-life Daily board.
