About the Dot Connect board
This board ranks the fastest completed games of Dot Connect by finish time. Connect each pair of coloured dots and fill the whole grid, no crossings. It is rated Connect-the-dots logic, and every board can be filled completely with no crossings. The current top time here is 0:15 by jrogjrogonzales.
How ranking works
- Only completed puzzles count, and every result is checked for a plausible time and move count before it is listed.
- Ties break toward fewer moves, rewarding efficient solving as well as speed.
- Signed-in players keep a permanent name on the board and sync records across devices; guests can still post a display name.
- Switch between Today, This Week, This Month and All Time above to see recent form or lifetime bests.
What counts as a strong Connect time?
Times vary a lot by player and by board, but here is a rough ladder to aim for:
| Just learning | Finishing at all is the win - do not watch the clock yet. |
|---|---|
| Casual player | A comfortable, unhurried solve, usually a couple of minutes. |
| Getting good | A quick solve with very few wasted moves. |
| Speed solver | Well under a minute on a friendly board - clean, decisive play. |
The fastest way to climb this board is not frantic clicking - it is making fewer, smarter moves so the clock barely ticks while you plan.

Leaderboard questions
How does the puzzle leaderboard work?
It ranks completed puzzles by finish time. Every result is checked for a plausible time and move count before it is listed, and ties break toward fewer moves.
What counts as a good puzzle time?
It varies by game and board. Casual solves take a few minutes; sharp players finish in well under a minute on the smaller boards. The best way to compare is the daily challenge, where everyone gets the same board.
Do I need an account to appear on the leaderboard?
No. Guests can post a display name. A free account keeps a permanent name and syncs your records across devices.
