Paperclip

In 2006 Kyle MacDonald traded one red paperclip, swap by swap, all the way up to a house.

Paperclip hands you the paperclip. Every day there's a new market and a new prize. Each trader wants one thing and gives you something else, and each of them only trades once, so some swaps lead nowhere. Find the shortest route to the prize.

• A new puzzle every day, the same for everyone. Takes a couple of minutes.
• Plays with a mouse, touch, a keyboard or a screen reader.
• Free. There's an optional one-time unlock for extra modes, but the daily is always free.
