Sleigh Route

Six snowy maps, from 4 to 8 houses, with pine trees in the way. Tap the houses in the order the sleigh should visit them; it flies square by square from the workshop and back. Every map's shortest loop is worked out exactly, so you see how close you came, and a loop that's too long arrives after dawn.

How to play

Plan a loop. Tap the houses in visiting order, or press their letters. The sleigh starts at the workshop and flies back there.
Count the steps. The sleigh moves one square at a time, up, down, left or right, around the trees.
Beat the dawn. A loop more than a quarter longer than the shortest one costs one of 3 lives.
Score. Up to 200 for matching the shortest loop, +100 for an exact match, +20 per house.

Quick tips

Look at the whole map first. Spot the clusters of houses before you tap anything.
Sweep, don't zigzag. The best loops usually go round the map once and rarely cross themselves.
