About Relay Tangle
Relay Tangle is a calm, original logic puzzle. Each board has an orange circle and a purple diamond that each need to reach their matching outline. Both shapes move one step at a time along arrows, and you can only change the switch arrows, which are shared between them, so every change affects both paths. The shapes may not land on the same square or swap places, and later chapters add ringed squares, turnstiles and swap squares. There are no timers, lives or sounds: just thinking.
Relay Tangle in the browser
The game was submitted by its publisher, Dayplay Games, and runs on its own site. It has 54 puzzles in 11 chapters, each opening with a short teaching board, plus a daily puzzle that is the same for everyone. Undo remembers your last 256 moves, and a hint is there when you are stuck. It is free with no ads or purchases; progress saves in your browser, and leaderboards only use an optional player name. It works with touch or keyboard.

Tips for Relay Tangle
- Work backwards from each outline: which arrows must point the right way on the last step?
- Remember every switch moves both shapes, so check the second path after each change.
- Step one move at a time with Space and undo freely; there's no penalty.
- Each chapter's first board teaches the new rule, so don't skip it.
