What's inside

Three things it does well.

The Daily

A new grid every morning

A 5×5, a 7×7 and a 10×10, the same puzzle for everyone. Streaks are tracked per size, with a Home Screen widget.

Create

Build your own

Place the black squares. The solver fills the grid and writes the clues, then you edit whatever you'd rather word differently.

Share

Send it as a link

The whole puzzle is encoded in the link itself. Nothing is uploaded to us, and there's nothing to sign into at the other end.

Light and dark

Drawn twice, so it suits the room.

Every screen follows iOS automatically, or you can pin it to light or dark in Settings.

A daily 7×7 part-solved, with the clue “Insecticide with a lasting environmental impact” below the grid.
