Hey ChipWits Puzzlers! We hope you're enjoying the game!

Our Back to School Challenge has been extended until Sep 15: Pencil Shards!

Just in time for Back to School season, this mission is about cleaning up (eating) all the randomly-positioned pencil shards on the pencil using the fewest cycles possible.

Warning: This puzzle is HARD - you'll want to give it extra time. Stop by our Discord Server for hints and discussion!

To participate, simply load ChipWits and tackle the puzzle. Your best score (lowest chip count) will automatically be recorded on the special challenge leaderboard.

Bragging Rights & Deadline

Top the leaderboard and earn ultimate ChipWit bragging rights! The challenge runs until September 15th. Submit your best solution before then to secure your spot!

Note: You must have the full version of ChipWits to participate in these challenges. If you don't have the full version, yet, then give the free demo a try!


Good luck, and may the most efficient ChipWit win!
