Play Red's Winding Way

Red's Winding Way is a path-building puzzle wrapped in a fairy-tale setting. Red needs to reach Grandma's cottage, but the route through the woods does not exist yet — you build it. Each level hands you a fixed shelf of road tiles to drag onto the board and turn until they link into one continuous path from Red to the door. The constraints are what make this a puzzle rather than a drawing exercise. Trees will not move, so the obstacles on the board dictate where a path can physically go. A door only opens from the side its arrow points at, which means the last tile of your route has to arrive from one specific direction. And the shelf is fixed: you get exactly the tiles you are given, so a piece spent in the wrong place is a piece missing later on. There are 100 levels across four woodland tiers, growing from compact 5x4 clearings up to 7x5 tangles. The later tiers bring in the Wolf, who wants a door of his own — now you are routing two separate paths on a single board, and neither may cross the other. Nothing is timed and nothing can be lost. Tiles drag back to the shelf freely, every level is verified solvable before it ships, and cleared boards stay unlocked so you can return to any of them. A level that looks impossible is only ever hiding its answer. Red's Winding Way is a free browser puzzle game with no download required, playable on desktop and mobile by clicking or tapping.
