** 1-?: You are allowed to draw lines outside of the grid. This lets you avoid hitting more than one star in 1-?-3. It also allows you to get a star in 1-?-4 ? you have to touch the "end of this level" star that's otherwise used for navigation only.
** 2-?: Its rules seem to be straight-forward, but at one point you'll probably hit a grid without a circle and get stuck. The starting circle is located where your line in the previous sub-level ended. You have to find a "chain" that makes 2-?-5's circle appear ? if you end 2-?-4 in the top square, the equivalent spot on 2-?-5 won't get a circle because it's already occupied by a square.
** 4-?: The level's gimmick is that the area covered by the line in each sub-level must be the same.
** 5-?: Each number corresponds to a board. You have to enter and exit the number on the same side as you started and ended the corresponding board.
** 6-?: The entire level set is horizontally "mirrored" around 6-?-4. When you draw a line in 6-?-1, you're actually drawing a line on a horizontally mirrored version of 6-?-7.
** 7-?: After passing over a triangle, every subsequent move will make the whole puzzle slide 1 tile in the direction of the triangle. The last puzzle requires you to switch to windowed mode and adjust the window size to make it possible!
** 9-?'s sublevels eventually hide the symbols completely, forcing you to draw lines and use audio cues to figure out where they are.
** 0-?: You have to reproduce the shape of the levels on the level select screen that match thechapter number of the rule.
** _-?: You have to find a path that works for every sub-level. However, note that you can use the same path in very different configurations, as you can adjust the length of the segments.

** 3-?'s gimmick becomes clear early. Drawing a line pushes the shapes away. [[spoiler:Exploiting this is necessary for dividing the shapes into groups of two similar ones, as a rule requires. The second-to-last sub-level uses this in a tricky way: you have to start outside the circle, and ''push it onto the starting square''.]]

''Understand'' is an experimental {{puzzle game}} by Artless Games. Each level contains a group of sublevels that present you with a grid containing some shapes. Your job is to draw a line that fulfils all the rules represented by the dots below the grid. The twist is that you are not told what the rules are. You have to use {{trial and error|Gameplay}} to figure them out. The levels are organized into worlds that revolve around a common theme, though they end with an X-? GimmickLevel.

* RedHerring: The first sub-levels of 1-10 make it easy to assume the rules are identical to some that you've seen in previous levels. However, your approach will probably fail on 1-10-5 and 1-10-6.

The sublevels until 1-10-4 all have a circle in the upper left corner and a square in the upper right corner, and 1-10-3 and 1-10-4 both make it very easy to "collect" all shapes while drawing a valid line, so it's easy to believe the shapes matter in 1-10 too.]]
