Circuitos (O Globo)
Join matching coloured dots with paths that fill every square, three boards a day.
Every day: Three dated boards a day (Fácil, Médio, Difícil), the same for every player: join each pair of coloured dots so the paths fill the whole grid. New puzzle: Midnight local time (the game asks for the board matching your device's date).
Circuitos is the path-drawing logic puzzle in O Globo's games section. Each day brings an easy, a medium and a hard board, and you link every pair of same-coloured dots without crossing lines, until no square is left empty. A calendar lets you go back to boards from recent weeks.
About Circuitos (O Globo)
Circuitos is one of the puzzles on O Globo Jogos, the games page of the Rio de Janeiro newspaper, alongside its crossword, sudoku, spot-the-difference and GeoMontagem. The page describes it simply: connect the dots of the same colour without crossing the paths. The game runs on the Agilmente puzzle platform, which supplies the same game to several Latin American newspapers, including La Nación in Buenos Aires.
There are three boards each day. The easy one is small (about six by eight squares), the medium board is larger and the hard one larger again, around eight by eleven. Each board is stored under its date, so everyone who opens Circuitos on a given day draws on the same grid. The answer for each board is a set of paths that together cover the entire grid, so you cannot leave gaps.
A date bar above the board lists the last few weeks of puzzles, so a missed day can be played later. O Globo's site shows subscription offers while you browse, and the puzzles themselves load in the page next to them.
It suits players who like Flow Free or LinkedIn's Zip and want a short logic puzzle with a Brazilian newspaper's daily routine; the only Portuguese you need is in the menus.
How to play Circuitos (O Globo)
- Open Circuitos on O Globo Jogos and pick Fácil, Médio or Difícil.
- Drag from a coloured dot to draw a path through neighbouring squares, without moving diagonally.
- Bring the path to the other dot of the same colour.
- Connect every pair without crossing another path.
- Make sure every square is used: the board is solved only when the grid is full.
Tips
- Start with dots near edges and corners: their paths have the fewest ways to go.
- Long empty corridors usually belong to the pair whose dots are farthest apart.
- If a square can only be reached by one colour, draw that path first.
- Warm up on Fácil; Difícil boards are larger and leave fewer obvious moves.
