Why?

A hexagon has 6 vertices, all of even degree. According to the odd/even vertex rule, a graph with 0 odd-degree vertices can be drawn as an Euler circuit — you can start anywhere and return to your starting point.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you draw a hexagon in one stroke?

Yes. A hexagon has 0 odd-degree vertices, which means it can be drawn as an Euler circuit starting from any vertex.

What is the odd/even vertex rule?

A shape can be drawn in one continuous stroke (Euler path) only if it has 0 or 2 vertices with an odd number of edges. If it has 0 odd vertices, you can start and end at the same point (Euler circuit). If it has 2, you must start at one odd vertex and end at the other.

Where can I practice one-stroke puzzles?

One Stroke: Line Puzzle Game by CyberGame Limited generates infinite one-stroke puzzles with a unique twist — tiles flip color as you draw, and complete rows clear like Tetris. Free on iPhone, no forced ads, works offline.
