Rules of Rune Circuit
Rune Circuit is a network puzzle. Rotate the carved stones until every arm meets its neighbor and all 25 runes belong to one continuous circuit powered by the star.
The objective
Connect all 25 runes in one network with no loose arms.
01 · Rune Circuit
Read each rune’s carved arms.
A tile may be an endpoint, a straight segment, a corner, or a junction. Rotation changes its direction but never changes the number or shape of its connections.
02 · Rune Circuit
Rotate stones into position.
Choose Left or Right, then tap a rune to rotate in that direction. On desktop, right-click also rotates counterclockwise.
03 · Rune Circuit
Match every neighboring arm.
A connection is valid only when both neighboring tiles point toward each other. An arm that points into a solid edge or off the board is loose and invalid.
04 · Rune Circuit
Trace power from the star.
A locally connected loop is not enough if it is isolated. Every rune must have a path through matching arms back to the star rune.
05 · Rune Circuit
Finish one continuous circuit.
The puzzle completes when all 25 runes are powered and no loose connection remains. Hints correctly align a rune and are included in the daily record.
Quick reference
Four rules to remember
