About Tangle Trail

Tangle Trail is a one-stroke puzzle. The trail starts on a marked stone and only grows by stepping onto a stone that touches the end of it, so the single line has to pass through every stone on the plot exactly once. Stepping onto a stone the trail already used is refused, because a trail that crosses itself has already failed.

Five plots follow one another, from nine stones in a three by three plot to fifteen stones behind a notch, and the last two plots also fix which stone the trail must finish on. Every plot was checked with an exact search before it was built in, so each one really can be traced from end to end.
