Question 1

How do I play Connect the Dots?

Accepted Answer

Find dot 1 and connect the dots in number order: tap the next numbered dot, or press and drag your finger through several dots in a row. Each correct dot snaps a new line into place, and when the last dot joins back to the first, the hidden picture fills in.

Question 2

What happens if I tap the wrong dot?

Accepted Answer

Nothing is lost · the dot shakes gently and your drawing stays exactly as it was. Wrong taps count against a generous allowance, and only using it all up ends the round with the full picture revealed.

Question 3

What pictures can appear?

Accepted Answer

A curated set of hand-drawn outlines: a star, house, fish, heart, sailboat, tree, rocket, cat, duck, butterfly, elephant and dinosaur. Easy rounds use small 12-dot figures; harder rounds bring outlines of up to 28 dots.

Question 4

How does it get harder?

Accepted Answer

Higher difficulty unlocks bigger figures with more dots to find, and your streak grows them further. On the hardest setting the numbers are shown only for a short preview and then hide, so you trace the outline from memory · a wrong tap briefly flashes the next number to get you back on track.

Question 5

Can I play with a keyboard?

Accepted Answer

Yes · Tab or the arrow keys move between dots and Enter or Space connects the focused dot. The game announces each connection, so it plays without a mouse or touch screen.
