Pointy Puzzle is a free online arrow-clearing brain teaser that tests your logic and spatial reasoning. Each puzzle presents a grid filled with arrows pointing in eight possible directions. Your job is to figure out the correct order to tap and clear every arrow from the board. An arrow can only be cleared when nothing blocks its path to the edge of the grid. With a fresh Daily Puzzle, 50+ Classic levels, Red Arrow Mode, and infinite Challenge Mode seeds, there's always a new puzzle waiting.
Goal
Clear every arrow from the grid. Tap an unblocked arrow and it flies off the board in the direction it points, opening up new paths.
Basic Rules
- Each cell holds an arrow pointing in one of eight directions.
- An arrow is unblocked when nothing sits between it and the edge of the board along its direction.
- Tap an unblocked arrow to clear it.
- Tapping a blocked arrow costs a heart.
- Lose all your hearts and you'll need to restart.
