Various published solutions break the implicit rules of the puzzle in order to achieve a solution with even fewer than four lines. For instance, if the dots are assumed to have some finite size, rather than to be infinitesimally-small mathematical grid points, then it is possible to connect them with only three slightly slanted lines.
This puzzle type was popularized in Japan by Nikoli as Arukone (アルコネ, Alphabet Connection) and Nanbarinku (ナンバーリンク, Number Link). The only difference between Arukone and Nanbarinku is that in Arukone the clues are letter pairs (as in Dudeney's puzzle), while in Nanbarinku the clues are number pairs.
In this screenshot, the flow between the yellow dots needs to be completed to fill the grid. Flow Free presents numberlink puzzles. Each puzzle has a grid of squares with pairs of colored dots occupying some of the squares. The objective is to connect dots of the same color by drawing 'pipes' between them so that the entire grid is occupied by ...
Blocked 10. Choose puzzle pieces and place them into the block grid. As you complete a row or column, that line of blocks disappears and awards points.

The New York Times' Associate Puzzle Editor Wyna Liu has been credited for helping to create the game. But when she shared a link to it on Twitter, Victoria Coren-Mitchell, host of the popular ...
A puzzle with only one solution cannot have a 2 in a corner with two non-diagonally adjacent, unconstrained squares, and a diagonally adjacent 0 or 1.) If there are two paths between two points, such that a solution containing one must also work with the other, then both paths can be ruled out.
