GAPP stands for Genuinely Approachable Pencil Puzzles, it's a series we (myself, Mender, Freddie, Walker and Lava) do over in the CTC discord! If you've never tried pencil puzzles before this series is one of the best places to start, we aim to make puzzles that aren't boring but stay within the reasonable realm for beginners. I post my puzzles to the blog every month or so in batches, after they've appeared in the discord, which I recommend joining (link below) to get them earlier, daily, and with a bunch of extra stuff like example puzzle links, hints and walkthroughs, and time standards for those who like to race!

Puzzle 3 - Chat Room Draw paths through the centers of cells - one starting at each circle and connecting it to a phone - such that every cell is used. Paths may not cross each other or themselves.
