How to Play Step by Step on Your Screen

Starting a connect the dots game here needs no setup. Find number 1, then tap or drag your finger or mouse to number 2 and keep going in order. The picture stays hidden until you connect the lines, so the final drawing is always a surprise. If you get stuck on a tricky corner, tap the "Show me" hint to highlight the next number.

We offer three levels: Easy (10 to 20 dots) suits young children, Medium has 21 to 45 dots, and Hard (46 to 120 dots) is for older kids and adults. On a phone, a Hard puzzle can look crowded at first. Use the Zoom button and the game follows the next number for you, so the dots stay big enough to tap.

When Digital Play Beats Paper and Pencil

Paper and sharpened pencils are wonderful at the kitchen table, yet they do not travel well in the backseat of a car. Playing connect the dots online works well in dim waiting rooms, on long train rides, or whenever your home printer runs out of ink. You just hand over a phone or tablet, and there is nothing to sharpen and no crayon to pick up off the floor.

Digital play also helps when a child works on a connect the dots puzzle and loses track of the count. If you tap the wrong dot, the game simply waits for the right one. When you are back at a desk and want paper again, every puzzle is also a free US Letter or A4 PDF in our printable dot to dot collection.

What if I cannot find the next number?
