Learn how Cutle's daily, Archive, and Infinite modes work while mastering the drag-to-cut controls needed to balance each shape.
Here's a quick look at the game:
Cutle is built around one repeatable action: draw a straight line across a shape and see how evenly you divided its filled area. The daily puzzle gives everyone a published shape to solve, while other modes let you retry older challenges or keep generating new ones.
Start With a Valid Slice
Click, press, or tap inside the board and drag your line all the way through the shape. Release when the line crosses the complete figure. A line that does not pass fully through the shape will not count as a valid cut.
Once the slice is accepted, Cutle separates the two portions and shows their area ratio. Your target is 50:50, while results such as 49:51 or 48:52 still place the two sides close together. When the rounded percentages are no more than two percentage points apart, the game also triggers its celebration feedback.
Daily, Archive, and Infinite Play
Daily mode presents the current published Cutle shape. You can select Reset or interact with the finished shape to try the challenge again, making it possible to refine a near-perfect line instead of being locked to a single attempt.
The Archive contains earlier published shapes and records earned trophies and progress in the current browser. These puzzles can differ structurally; some include holes or several separate filled regions, but the objective remains balancing the total filled area on both sides of the cut.
For continuous practice, switch to Infinite mode. It generates smooth, closed random shapes locally in your browser. After each attempt, you receive the same ratio and score feedback, then you can choose Next for another shape or Reset to repeat the current one. Infinite results are not added to the Archive, Stats, trophies, or saved progress.
Use Each Result to Adjust the Next Line
Because Cutle estimates area using sampled points, a very small movement can change the final ratio. When an attempt is already close, large corrections can easily move too much area to the opposite side. Shift the line slightly or change its angle by a small amount instead.
For irregular outlines, judge the amount of filled space on each side rather than trying to split the shape's width or height exactly in half. That distinction becomes especially important when one side contains a broad curve while the other extends farther but stays narrow.
