Lattice Five

Lattice Five

Morpion Solitaire — the classic pen-and-paper puzzle for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Place a dot, draw a line through five. Every line must use the dot you just placed, and no segment can be drawn twice — how far can you stretch the position before it runs dry? A pencil-and-paper classic (Morpion Solitaire, a.k.a. Join Five), played since the 1970s, still unsolved.

The classic, exactly

The standard 36-dot cross and the touching rule (5T), with the disjoint variant (5D) and the shorter, fully solved 4T/4D games one tap away. The human record on the classic position stood for 34 years — the machine record is 178. There's room above your best.

A new puzzle every day

The daily challenge deals everyone the same board — a fresh symmetric starting pattern each date, one attempt, one undo per move. Keep the streak alive.

Challenge your friends

Every generated board has a short code — share it and a friend plays exactly your board. No accounts, no server: the code is the whole challenge.

Study your games

Every finished game is a replay: scrub through it, race your best game's pace as you play, and see the openness curve — where your position peaked, and where it died.
