Currents Game (Netflix Puzzled): How to Play, Rules and Tips
Currents is the path puzzle in Netflix Puzzled. Draw one unbroken path that starts at 1, visits the numbers in order and passes through every cell of the grid. The path never crosses itself and never doubles back. If you know LinkedIn's Zip, this is the same idea.
- Numbers in order
- Every cell
- No crossing
The rules
Through the numbers, in order
The path starts at 1 and reaches the numbers in order: 2 after 1, 3 after 2. It may wander between them, but never skip one.
- ✗ Not allowed
No crossing, no backtracking
The path cannot cross itself or run back over a cell it has used. Each cell is visited once.
- ✓ Right
Every cell is on the path
The puzzle is solved when the path has gone through every numbered node and every cell. An empty cell anywhere means the path is wrong somewhere.
From 1 to the last number
A 4 by 4 board of our own, the numbers 1 to 4:
From 1, the only way to use the top row is to go along it
Back along the second row to 2, then on to 3
The last row to 4: every cell used, solved
Where to play, and the controls
- Open Netflix Puzzled on iOS or Android, or in a browser at netflix.com/tudum/puzzled. No account is needed.
- Swipe from 1 to draw the path. Swipe back along it to undo, or tap the highest number you have reached to clear the path from there.
- The lightbulb shows the direction of the next move when you are stuck.
Currents tips: find the path without guessing
Start from the corners and dead ends
A corner cell has two neighbours, so the path through it turns. A cell in a dead end can only be entered and left one way: draw those first.
Never strand a pocket of cells
Before leaving a number, check that the cells on the other side can still be reached later. A pocket cut off from the rest is a wrong turn.
Count the cells between numbers
The cells between two consecutive numbers must all be used by the path between them, or saved for a later stretch. Count them.
Think in chessboard colours
On a grid with an even number of cells, the path alternates colours like a chessboard. If 1 and the last number sit on the same colour, no path can exist, so look again at the grid size.
Undo to the last number
If the path is long and you are unsure, undo to the last number rather than the start: the stretch before it was right.
Questions
What is Currents on Netflix?
A logic puzzle in Netflix Puzzled: one path through the numbered nodes in order and through every cell of the grid, without crossing itself.
Is Currents like Zip?
Yes. The rule is the same as in LinkedIn's Zip: numbers in order, every cell used, no crossing. The grids and the look are Netflix's own.
Can cells stay empty in Currents?
No. Every cell must be on the path. If the path reaches the last number with cells left over, it took a wrong turn earlier.
How do you undo in Currents?
Swipe back along the path to undo part of it, or tap the highest number reached to remove the path from that point.
When is there a new Currents puzzle?
A new daily Currents arrives at midnight, your local time. Past days stay in the archive, and there is a collection of extra puzzles in the app.
