Charge It
About Charge It
Charge It is a free online logic puzzle game built around a problem everyone recognizes: too many devices and not enough sockets. Across 20 unique levels, you're handed a tangle of cables, mismatched plugs, and limited outlet space, and it's your job to connect every phone, TV, and toaster to power using clever spatial reasoning. Some plugs are large enough to take up the space of three regular sockets, cables are sometimes too short to reach the outlet you'd expect, and the occasional hair dryer even needs to blow a napkin off a blocked socket before you can use it.
Charge It runs entirely in your browser on both desktop and mobile with no download or install required. Its clean, minimal presentation puts all the focus on the puzzle-solving itself, and with 20 levels each introducing a new twist on the socket-and-plug formula, it delivers a satisfying string of "aha" moments as you work out the one arrangement that gets every device powered up.

Solving the Socket Puzzle
Every level in Charge It presents a fixed set of sockets and a pile of plugs that need to be arranged so every device — phones, a TV, toasters, and more — ends up powered. The challenge comes from limited space, since larger plugs can occupy the room of three regular sockets, and from cable length, since a plug that's too far from an open socket simply won't reach no matter how you angle it. Some levels also throw in hair dryers, which you can use to blow a napkin covering a socket out of the way before you can plug into it.
Strategic Puzzle-Solving
Because socket space is always limited, Charge It rewards planning your layout before locking in your first plug. Working out which large plugs absolutely need a triple-socket space first, then filling in the smaller devices around them, tends to be far more efficient than plugging things in randomly and hoping the last piece fits. Later levels layer on more obstacles like blocked sockets and short cables, so a bit of trial and error alongside your planning is expected.
Tips for Winning at Charge It
Place your largest plugs first, since they have the fewest valid positions and are the easiest to get stuck without space for later. If a cable seems too short, look for a different, closer socket rather than assuming the puzzle is unsolvable — Charge It's levels are always solvable with the sockets provided. Don't forget about the hair dryer when a socket looks blocked by a napkin; it's an easy detail to overlook but essential on the levels that include it.
How to Play Charge It
- Survey the level — Look at all the sockets and devices that need power.
- Plan your layout — Decide where your largest plugs will fit before placing anything.
- Drag plugs to sockets — Connect each plug to an open, reachable socket.
- Clear obstacles — Use the hair dryer to blow napkins off blocked sockets where needed.
- Check cable reach — Reposition plugs to closer sockets if a cable is too short.
- Power everything — Confirm every phone, TV, and toaster is connected and running.
- Move to the next level — Progress through all 20 levels of increasingly tricky layouts.
