Cut Wood

Swipe your mouse like a lumberjack on a rampage — every clean slice through a log sends splinters flying and your score climbing. How long can you keep the blade moving?

There's something deeply satisfying about a clean cut. Cut Wood gets that. You're not building a cabin or managing a sawmill — you're just swiping your mouse across the screen, each swipe meant to split a wooden block clean in two. The first few logs feel easy, almost therapeutic. Then the pace picks up. Blocks come faster, some need two swipes, and if you hesitate, the timer drains. I lost my first run at 43 points because I tried to be fancy with a diagonal swipe. The blade clipped the edge and the log just... bounced. Lesson learned: go straight through the middle. The challenge isn't just speed — it's angle control. Your mouse cursor is the axe, and the game tracks the direction and length of your swipe. Short swipes won't cut deep enough. Long swipes overshoot. You'll find a rhythm, though, and when you do, it feels like muscle memory. There's a combo system if you cut multiple logs in one swipe, but that's risky; you'll often leave one half-cut log spinning in the corner, mocking you. The wood textures are simple but the physics feel right — each split piece flies off with a satisfying crunch. It's a one-button arcade loop, and I mean that as a compliment. You'll tell yourself 'one more run' and then twenty minutes disappear. The high score taunts you constantly. Cut Wood doesn't pretend to be deep, but it nails the one thing arcade games need: instant feedback. Swipe, crack, repeat. If you've got five minutes to kill or need a break from strategy games, this is a solid pick.

Use mouse swipe to cut wood

Aim for the center of each log; off-center hits waste time and often leave it half-split. Swipe from one side of the screen to the other in one fluid motion — hesitation ruins momentum. Watch for the darker wood type: it needs two full swipes before it breaks. Don't chase diagonal cuts if straight vertical works; angles introduce risky variables. Combo kills are tempting, but a missed log resets your streak. Play it safe early. If a log bounces instead of breaking, it was probably too short a swipe. Extend your arm movement.
