Untangle Butterfly: Tangle

A butterfly is caught in the web. Untangle it and set her free.

Tangle is a calm logic puzzle with a rescue at the heart of it. Every level is a knot of glowing dots and strings — drag the dots until no two strings cross, and the web falls apart in your hands. The butterfly trapped inside flies away, and joins your collection.

● UNTANGLE THE WEB

Drag the dots so that none of the connecting lines overlap. Crossed strings glow red; every one you clear turns teal with a soft chime. No lives, no energy, and no way to fail a level — the timer only records how you did; it never runs out.

● FREE THE BUTTERFLY

One butterfly is tangled in every web, tethered to the strings and struggling to get out. Solve the puzzle and she escapes in a burst of sparks.

● COLLECT EVERY SPECIES

A new butterfly species joins your album every 5 levels — 12 hand-designed species, each with its own flavour and a rarity from Common all the way to Legendary. Past level 60 they return as rare colour variants, so the album never runs dry. Spend shards to raise a species a whole rarity tier.

● YOUR GARDEN

Every butterfly you have ever freed drifts here on its own path. Tap one to open its card.

● WEBS THAT TWIST

From level 8 the rules start to bend. Twin webs share the same dots, linked dots move as a pair, rail dots slide along a track, growing webs arrive in waves, and mystery webs settle into a hidden picture when you solve them. Every board is built from its solution, so none is ever a dead end.

● A NEW PUZZLE EVERY DAY

The Daily Tangle is the same board for every player, every day. Solve it to build a streak. Miss a day and an earned streak freeze covers for you — freezes are earned by playing, never sold.

● WEEKEND TANGLE

Every Saturday and Sunday brings a five-stage themed run with its own colours. Finish the ladder for a pile of coins, a streak freeze and a handful of shards.

● RUSH

Sixty seconds on the clock, and every puzzle you untangle buys you more time. How far can you get? Completely optional — the rest of the game stays as unhurried as ever.

● ZEN, MISSIONS AND FRIEND CHALLENGES

Zen is endless calm webs with no clock at all. Three daily missions pay out coins. And you can send a friend a six-character code for any level you've beaten, then see who solves it in fewer moves.

● THREE STARS ON EVERY LEVEL

Solve cleanly for three stars; take the long way round for one. Stars never block anything.

● COINS, CHESTS, HINTS AND SCISSORS

Every clear opens a chest — usually a few coins, sometimes a Legendary. Spend them on garden plants, string themes, a higher hint ceiling or a pair of scissors. Stuck? A Hint shows you exactly which dot to move and where. Really stuck? Take the scissors and cut a string clean out of the web.

● CHAPTERS AND CHALLENGES

Chapters of 20 levels, each ending in confetti. Every tenth level is a CHALLENGE spike, and later levels add a golden pin you cannot move.

● BEAT YOUR BEST

Every solve is timed and rated. Jump back into any level and beat your own record. Compete on seven Google Play leaderboards: levels completed, total stars, best Rush run, longest daily streak, fastest solve, chapter speedruns and total time.

● CALM BY DESIGN

Soft neon visuals on a dark background, synthesised sound, one-tap mute. No clutter, no pressure. Works offline — play on a plane, on the metro, anywhere.
