Connect the dots

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Connect the dots, also known as dot to dot or join the dots is a kind of paper puzzle containing a sequence of numbered dots. The puzzle is completed by drawing lines between the dots in order of the numbers, starting with a line between the dot next to the number one and the number two, and continuing on until the last number is reached. The drawn lines reveal a hidden picture.

Most puzzles contain line art to supplement the image created by the lines between the dots.

Connect the dots puzzles are generally created for children, though they can also be created for adults.

Sometimes, the number order can be replaced with letters or other symbols.

The phrase "connect the dots" is sometimes used as a metaphor to illustrate a person's ability (or inability) to associate one idea with another.
