Loopy River (Inkwell Games)
Draw one river that loops through every cell of the day's grid.
Every day: One dated loop puzzle each day, the same for every player, picked from a weekday selector (Monday to Sunday). New puzzle: Once a day; the site does not state the time.
Loopy River is a daily loop-drawing puzzle from Inkwell Games. You drag a single river through the grid so that it passes through every open cell and closes into one loop.
About Loopy River (Inkwell Games)
Loopy River is one of the daily logic puzzles at Inkwell Games, a small puzzle site that also publishes Fields, Stars and Mosaic. Each puzzle is dated, and a row of weekday buttons lets you move between the days of the current week.
The goal is simple to state: draw one continuous loop that flows through every cell of the board. You tap and drag to lay the river down, and Undo, Reset and Check buttons help you fix mistakes. A timer records how long you take.
The daily puzzle is free. A subscription unlocks the archive (for Loopy River it goes back to 4 May 2026) and extras such as replaying puzzles and a highlighter for notes.

- Open Loopy River and pick today's date from the weekday row.

Tips
