KNOT is an iPhone puzzle where you untangle a web of dots and lines by dragging the dots until no lines cross. There is one numbered board a day, shared by all players, plus a 30-day archive and unlimited practice tangles at three difficulties.
About KNOT: Daily Puzzle
KNOT is a daily untangling puzzle for iPhone. Each board is a set of dots joined by straight lines that cross each other many times, and your job is to move the dots until the drawing has no crossings at all.
It is made by Gokhan Turk and came to the App Store in June 2026. The listing says it is designed for iPhone; it also runs on Apple silicon Macs and Apple Vision Pro as an iPhone app.
Every day brings one numbered daily board, the same for every player. The screen shows the number of nodes, a live count of the crossings left, a timer and your streak. Lines that still cross are drawn in red and turn green once they are clear. The timer starts on your first touch, and difficulty rises through the week, from an easy Monday to a hard Friday. When the count reaches zero an Untangled card shows your time, which you can share.
The last 30 days can be replayed from the archive, and the New Tangle button gives practice boards at Easy, Normal or Hard that do not affect the streak. Every graph is planar, so a solution always exists.
It suits people who like spatial puzzles more than word or number ones, and anyone who wants a puzzle of a minute or two with a clear finish.
How to play KNOT: Daily Puzzle
- Open KNOT to load today's numbered board.
- Drag a dot to a new spot; the lines attached to it move with it.
- Watch the crossings counter fall as red lines turn clear.
- Keep moving dots until the counter reaches zero.
- Share your time, or replay earlier days from the archive.

Tips
- Move dots with many lines to the edge first, so their lines stop cutting through the middle.
- Look for small triangles of dots that belong together and pull them apart from the rest.
- The timer only starts on your first touch, so study the board before you drag.
Questions
Is everyone given the same puzzle?
Yes. The daily board is the same for every player worldwide.
Can every puzzle be solved?
Yes. Every graph is planar, so it can always be drawn with no crossings.
Can I play past days?
Yes, any of the last 30 days from the archive.
Does practice affect my streak?
No. New Tangle boards, at Easy, Normal or Hard, are separate from the daily and its streak.
Is KNOT on Android or iPad?
The App Store lists it for iPhone only, with Mac and Apple Vision Pro able to run the iPhone app. There is no Android version.
