Waypoint Weave — Route Planning Puzzle

HOW TO PLAY

1. Tap adjacent tiles to draw one continuous route from the start pad.
2. Collect every numbered waypoint before ending on the finish pad.
3. Arrow gates force the direction you leave that tile, and portal pads must jump directly to their linked partner.
4. Press Dispatch only when the route is complete. Clear as many deliveries as you can before time runs out.

TIPS & STRATEGY

• Trace the route with the numbered waypoints in mind first — you must touch every waypoint before landing on the finish pad, or Dispatch is rejected.
• Read the arrow gates before you commit: an arrow tile forces the direction you leave it, so plan your approach so the forced exit still leads somewhere useful.
• Step onto a portal pad and your next move jumps straight to its linked partner instead of an adjacent tile — use those jumps to skip past walls of blockers.
• Use Undo to peel back one step or Clear to reset the whole path; since the route only fires when you press Dispatch, there is no penalty for re-planning before you send the drone.

ABOUT

Waypoint Weave is a short route-planning puzzle about building a single path under directional constraints. Instead of reacting in real time, you pre-plan the drone's full trip through one-way gates and portal jumps, then send it once the route is safe. Your best delivery count is saved on your device, and the sharpest dispatchers reach the global TOP 20 leaderboard.

FAQ

How do you play Waypoint Weave?

Tap adjacent tiles (or use the arrow keys) to draw one continuous route from the start pad through every numbered waypoint to the finish, then press Dispatch to send the drone. Each completed delivery is worth one point, and you keep planning new routes until the 75-second round ends.

What makes Waypoint Weave tricky?

It is a route planning puzzle rather than a reflex game — you pre-plan the drone's whole trip under directional constraints. One-way arrow gates dictate the direction you must leave certain tiles, and paired portal pads teleport you to their partner, so a route that looks short on the grid can be blocked by the rules.

How does a run end and how is scoring done?

You have a single 75-second window per round, and each valid delivery you dispatch adds one point. When the timer hits zero the run ends; your best delivery count is what gets ranked.

Why is my Dispatch being rejected?

Dispatch only fires when the route is genuinely complete — it must end on the finish pad and pass through every numbered waypoint first. If you are missing a waypoint or have not reached the finish, the drone won't launch, so check the note under the board.

Is Waypoint Weave free to play?

Yes — it runs free in your browser with no install and no signup. Your best score is saved locally on your device.
