About The Fill
The Fill is a minimalist one-line puzzle game with a quietly addictive quality that's hard to explain until you experience it. The goal is straightforward: draw a single continuous path that passes through every cell on the grid without lifting your finger or retracing any step. The early puzzles ease you in, but the grids grow quickly in size and complexity, demanding genuine spatial planning and the ability to think several moves ahead. There's no timer pressure — just you, the grid, and the satisfying click of completing a perfect path. It's the kind of brain trainer that works equally well for a two-minute mental reset or a longer focused session, and the clean interface never gets in the way of the thinking.
How to Play
Swipe or drag from the starting cell to draw a continuous line through every cell on the grid. You cannot lift your finger mid-path or cross a line you've already drawn. Plan your route before committing since some paths force dead ends if approached from the wrong direction. Complete the grid by visiting every cell exactly once with a single unbroken line.
Tips & Tricks for The Fill
- Look for dead-end cells — cells with only one possible entry point — and plan your path to visit them as you pass, not as a detour that cuts off the rest of the grid.
- Work from the corners inward since corners have limited connection options and locking them in early prevents routing mistakes later.
- If you get stuck, the fastest fix is to restart the puzzle with a different starting direction rather than trying to fix a blocked path midway.
