Wataridori is a pencil puzzle involving drawing paths to connect all circles in a rectangular grid into pairs, in order to satisfy several constraints. In this paper, we prove that deciding solvability of a given Wataridori puzzle is NP-complete via reduction from Numberlink, another pencil puzzle that has already been proved to be NP-complete.
