How to play Train Tracks
Little Line is a train tracks puzzle with a raccoon host: the characters are ours, the track rules are the familiar ones.
- Lay one unbroken track from A to B.
- The numbers at the edge count the track squares in that row or column.
- The track never branches, crosses itself or loops back.
- Drag to lay track, tap to turn a piece, and mark empty squares with a cross.
