Networkle
Networkle is a daily train station guessing game where you identify a mystery station on an iconic city's rail network from distance, line and colour clues, with a fresh puzzle for each city every day at midnight local time.
Play NetworkleA fresh puzzle is waiting for you.
Networkle challenges you to guess a hidden train station from an interactive map of an iconic city's rail network. You pick a city and submit station guesses. After each guess the game gives distance-based feedback in stops and line or colour hints so you can narrow down the mystery station within a limited number of attempts.
The site includes multiple city maps including London, New York, Paris, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore, Sydney, Melbourne and Berlin, and some cities offer alternate maps for the same urban area. Larger, more complex networks grant extra guesses. You can reveal the computed fastest route after a game to see exactly how the game measured the number of stops.
How to play Networkle
- Choose a city network from the list, such as London, New York, Melbourne or Shanghai.
- Pick any station on that city's map as your first guess and submit it.
- Read the feedback showing the fewest number of stops to the mystery station and any line or colour clues.
- Use subsequent guesses to narrow the search based on stops and line/colour feedback until you find the mystery station or run out of allowed guesses.
Tips for Networkle
- Treat the reported number as the fewest stops along any valid path, not necessarily the most obvious route; consider line changes and express links when reasoning distances.
- When a city separates line and colour hints (notably New York and Melbourne), use the colour clue to narrow possible lines, then check which specific lines of that colour remain plausible.
- For larger networks that allow up to eight guesses, plan an early guess to maximize area elimination rather than trying to pinpoint the station immediately.
- If a reported distance seems surprising, finish the round and click Show fastest route to learn the exact path Networkle used; the revealed route can improve future deductions.
Networkle FAQ
When does a new puzzle become available?
A new mystery station is released for each city every day at midnight in your local time zone. This means each city’s daily puzzle resets according to the clock of the device you are using, not a fixed global time.
How does Networkle calculate the number of stops between my guess and the mystery station?
Networkle reports the fewest number of stops along any available path of adjacent stations between your guess and the mystery station. The calculation can use line changes and express routes, so the fastest route may be unexpected compared with the most direct-looking track on the map.
Why do some cities show separate information for line and colour?
Some cities, specifically New York and Melbourne, separate line and colour because multiple lines can share the same colour there. That separation lets the game indicate when your guess is on a line with the correct colour but not the exact line, avoiding ambiguity that does not occur where each line has a unique colour.
Why do some cities give me more guesses than others?
Larger and more complex networks such as New York, Shanghai, Paris and the full London network allow up to eight guesses instead of the usual six because their size makes them harder to solve. The extra guesses are provided to balance the increased difficulty of those extensive systems.
Does Infinite mode count towards my City Mastery achievement?
No, Infinite mode does not count toward City Mastery. The achievement is based solely on your Daily mode history for that city, so only standard daily wins contribute to Mastery progress.
Do wins across two maps for the same city count separately for Mastery achievements?
No, wins across both maps count together toward the single City Mastery for that city. Playing either or both maps helps unlock the achievement, but you do not need to complete both maps separately to earn the city's Mastery.
Do I need to play all maps to unlock achievements that require playing every city?
No, for achievements that require playing every city, playing either network variant for London or Melbourne counts as completing that city. Achievements such as Globe Trotter, Day Pass, Perfectionist and Jetlagged treat either map option as fulfilling that city's requirement.
