What is Pell Puzzles?

Pell Puzzles is a 6x6 grid logic puzzle where you fill the board by drawing paths between O's and X's. The goal is to create exactly eight paths, each with a unique length from 1 to 8, without breaking the placement rules.

Editor takes
The unique-length path constraint is a clever hook, but the hard 2x2 pool ban makes the solve feel more like a chore than a puzzle.
Viktor · The Purist
With exactly 8 paths summing to 36 cells on a 6x6 grid, the math checks out, but the real stat to watch is how fast the median solver cracks it.
Marcus · The Numbers Guy
I've 100%ed every grid, and the Pellbot leaderboard is where the real endgame lives—get your name up there or you haven't actually finished.
Rin · The Completionist
Drawing these winding paths feels less like a map and more like tracing a river delta—each route a little journey from X to O across a flat, featureless plain.
Sol · The Globetrotter

How to play Pell Puzzles

Drag from any empty cell or endpoint to draw a path segment. Lengths 2 through 8 must connect exactly one X to one O, while length 1 is made by clicking an X to mark it. You can click a path segment to delete it or drag one endpoint into another to merge paths.

Tips & strategy

  • Plan for all eight path lengths early, since each length 1 through 8 must be used exactly once.
  • Avoid filling cells in a way that creates a 2x2 solid block of path cells.
  • Remember paths cannot touch themselves, but diagonal adjacency is allowed.
  • Use the delete control to break a segment and redraw when a path gets stuck.
  • Leave some empty space between separate paths so they don't accidentally touch.

Frequently asked questions

Can I save my progress?

Yes, the site offers sign-in options including Google, Discord, and a magic link. Signing in is described as saving progress permanently and syncing across devices.

What are the main rules for completing a puzzle?

You must create exactly 8 paths with unique lengths from 1 to 8. Paths of length 2–8 connect one X to one O; a length-1 path is just clicking an X. You also cannot create a 2x2 solid block, and paths cannot touch themselves except diagonally.
