A puzzle game by WaeboxZodiac Knots
Look closely, tap right, clear the board.
The board is packed with winding ropes, each one shaped like the zodiac animal you pick. Only a few have a way out, and freeing one usually opens the path for the next. See the right order and the board is yours.

One rule. The challenge is the order.
Tap a rope
It slithers off the board the way its head points, and the whole body follows. The path ahead of the head must be clear to the edge.
Blocked costs a heart
The rope bounces back and the one in its way flashes red, so you see at once what stopped you. The board stays as it was; think again.
Clear the board
Free every rope to win. Only a clean run with no bumps earns all 3 stars.
- 60 levels
- Boards grow from 7 × 7 to 13 × 13, fully packed, with only 1–3 ropes free at the start.
- Hearts and time
- 3 hearts a level, just 2 from level 21. A countdown timer from level 4.
- 1 hint a day
- Shared across all levels, back the next day. Never sold, so save it for when you are truly stuck.
- Daily puzzle
- A new board every day. Solve it on the day to grow your streak; missed days can still be played from the calendar for stars.
Your zodiac is your play style
The zodiac you pick dresses every rope on the board and comes with its own power: the Dragon sends one rope flying through everything, the Monkey turns a stuck rope around, the Dog saves you once when all seems lost. The Rat unlocks after 3 levels, then one more every 4 levels. This year’s zodiac is unlocked from the start.
Rat
Tý
Power: Quick wits
You get 2 hints a day instead of 1. A hint lights up a rope that can get out, and the hints are shared by every level that day.
Unlocks after 3 levels
Ox
Sửu
Power: Sturdy
One extra heart every level: 4 hearts early on, 3 from level 21. You can make one more mistake before you lose.
Unlocks after 7 levels
Tiger
Dần
Power: Fearless
The countdown is 25% longer, for example 4 minutes becomes 5. It helps on timed levels (from level 4).
Unlocks after 11 levels
Cat
Mão
Power: Nine lives
The first bump in each level is forgiven: no heart lost and no star taken off. From the second bump on, it counts as usual.
Unlocks after 15 levels
Dragon
Thìn
Power: Dragon flight
Once per level: tap the Dragon flight button, then a rope, and it flies straight out through anything in its way. Use it when you are stuck with no rope free.
Unlocks after 19 levels
Snake
Tỵ
Power: Snake eyes
When you use a hint, every rope that can get out lights up at once, not just one. It still uses up your hint for the day.
Unlocks after 23 levels
Horse
Ngọ
Power: Gallop
Every rope you free adds 3 seconds to the clock. The faster you go, the more time you bank; it helps on timed levels.
Unlocks after 27 levels
Goat
Mùi
Power: Gentle
Free 8 ropes in a row without a bump and you get back a heart you lost. A bump starts the count over.
Unlocks after 31 levels
Monkey
Thân
Power: Trickster
Once per level: tap the Trickster button, then a rope, to swap its head and tail. A rope blocked in front may get out the other way.
Unlocks after 35 levels
Rooster
Dậu
Power: Early call
If you stay idle for 8 seconds, the game lights up a free rope without using a hint. Once per level.
Unlocks after 39 levels
Dog
Tuất
Power: Loyal
Saved once per level: out of hearts, you get 1 heart back; out of time, you get 30 more seconds, and you keep playing instead of losing.
Unlocks after 43 levels
Pig
Hợi
Power: Fortune
Stars are more generous: 1 bump still earns 3 stars, 2 bumps earn 2 stars, 3 or more earn 1 star.
Unlocks after 47 levels
Truly hard, always fair, never in your way
Ropes that slither
Each rope spans several cells and bends. When it escapes, the whole body follows the head; clearing a chain in one go is a joy to watch.
Mistakes that teach
The rope in the way flashes red, so you never have to guess why you lost a heart.
Every level is solvable
Each level is built backwards from a solution and checked by a solver. If you are stuck, the answer is there to be seen.
Hints are not for sale
One a day, never sold for money or traded for ads. Every win is yours.
The Vietnamese zodiac
The fourth animal is the Cat, not the Rabbit. Each zodiac has its own head, body pattern, legs and tail.
Quiet play
No ads cutting in, no internet, no account. Open it and play.
