Scoring
| How to play | Tap the dots in order from 1. A line joins each tap, and the last dot completes the picture |
|---|---|
| The next dot | The next dot blinks green. If you lose your place, just look for the blink |
| Level | Only the number of dots changes — Level 1 has 12 · Level 2 has 16 · Level 3 has 20 · Level 4 has 28 · Level 5 has 36 |
| Joining up | Up to 600 points · in proportion to the dots joined |
| Time bonus | Up to 300 points · only if you finish, in proportion to the time left |
| Accuracy bonus | Up to 100 points · 5 points less each time you tap the wrong dot |
| Hint penalty | 50 points off per hint (it shakes the next dot for you) |
| If you put the wrong number | It just blinks red once. The lines you have joined stay put |
| Level bonus | Normal +100, Hard +250 (when you finish) |
| Top score | Levels 1–3: 1,000 · Normal: 1,100 · Hard: 1,250 |
| When time runs out | You keep the points for the dots you joined |
I went looking online for puzzles for my mother, who lives with dementia, and found it far too hard to find good ones — so I made these for her. I am putting them here in the hope that they help someone else too.
