Some days you want words. Some days you want numbers. DUET has both — and all of it is new again tomorrow. A crossword that fits on a phone. A word hunt you trace with your thumb. A grid of numbers that clicks into place when the last one lands. A few minutes each, a fresh set every morning. THE GAMES • Kare — Fill the square. Across and down have to work at once. • Tarama — Hunt the words. Trace what is hidden in the grid. • Echo — Catch the pattern. The rule is in plain sight, carry it on. • Rungs — Climb the ladder. One letter changes on every rung. • Halat — Build your own route between two words. One letter again, but how many rungs you spend is yours to decide. • Aralık — Narrow the range. Every guess becomes an upper or a lower bound, and the hidden word is somewhere in between. • Tandem — Hit the total. Every letter has a value, the row must add up. • Dokuz — Place the numbers. Nine squares, one arrangement that works. EVERY DAY A puzzle of the day for each game, the same one for everybody. Finish them all to complete the day. BUILD A STREAK Every day you solve adds to it. Miss one and you get a chance to save it; don't, and the number keeps climbing. PLAY YOUR FRIENDS Send a duel on the very same puzzle — whoever solves it better takes the pot. The leaderboards show your friends and the world. WHEN YOU ARE STUCK Hints and reveals are there — earn them by watching an ad, or buy them. The games themselves are always free. DUET PRO No ads, hints and reveals that refill every month, free streak protection, the full archive of past dailies, and a theme of your own. There is also a monthly option that only turns the ads off. Playable in English and Turkish.

Tandem now confirms a line only when it is the right word. Bug fixes and improvements. ### 1.2.13 — 2026-09-25 Challenge a friend right from the home screen and pick the duel rules when you send it. Bug fixes and improvements. ### 1.2.12 — 2026-09-17 The home screen is rewritten. One flow — today's puzzles, the games you are playing, and all eight — with no segments and no filter chips. Every daily card now wears its own game's colour. The fourth tab is you. Your streak, what you have solved, and where you are in each game; settings behind the gear. Duels. You can challenge a friend straight from the home screen now, and you decide when you send it whether help is allowed — choose None and hints, reveals and checks are off for both of you. A pure race. You can nudge someone once, then not again for twelve hours. The result screen no longer waits on the server, and it says what the score actually means. Friends is one page: everything about a person under one heading, with requests in and out folded beneath it. Every game has its own symbol — the same face from the launch screen to the daily cards. The leaderboard has a podium for the first three. Notifications arrive in three piles — reminders, announcements, social — and there is an inbox for them inside the app. You can choose a username and link your account, so your progress no longer belongs to one phone. Speed. Typing no longer redraws the keyboard and the board on every key. Going back to a screen no longer reloads it. And when the app opens, it arrives whole rather than in instalments. In Kare's daily, filling the grid turns the wrong squares red by itself — free, exactly as it works in the levels. The daily cap on earning keys from an ad is gone, and when the ad finishes it carries on with whatever you were doing. And the bug where two cards landing together froze the screen is fixed at the root. ### 1.2.5 — 2026-09-11 Two new games. In Halat you build your own route between two words — one letter changes each step, and how many steps you spend is up to you. In Aralık you squeeze a hidden word between an upper and a lower bound; every guess moves one of them, and the keyboard closes down with the range. Both come with a daily puzzle and a full run of levels, in English and Turkish. Every "how to play" has been rewritten. Instead of four rules over four unrelated pictures, it walks a single board one move at a time. Echo most of all — that is the one people were getting stuck on. In Dokuz, a box lights up and locks the moment it is finished and correct. If it is wrong it does not lock, so a mistake no longer stays silent until the end. The crossword's daily marks your mistakes the way a level does — free, automatic, on the same Show mistakes setting. It did not work before. Duels moved above the daily puzzles on the home screen, and search to the top of Friends. The word meanings after a solve now fold up behind a Dictionary button. A duel you finished always scores now; the case where both players came away with zero is gone. And an achievement for winning a duel or adding a friend arrives when it happens, not after your next puzzle. ### 1.2.4 — 2026-09-10 Sudoku now comes in easy and medium too. A 6×6 grid, digits 1 to 6 — the right place to start if you have never finished one. The full 9×9 boards are still there; they are just no longer the only option. And the sudoku board is finally readable: your digits look different from the printed ones, a wrong digit turns red and shows you what it clashes with, and your row and column light up. Crossword boards open at a size that fits the screen — no more zooming out first — and the word you are typing is easy to pick out. Word Hunt shows the letters under your finger above the grid, where you can read them. In a duel, you pick the sudoku difficulty. Send your friend a board they can actually finish. Small things: the game no longer freezes if you leave during an ad, screenshots work on a puzzle again, and the keys along the bottom stop running into the edge of the screen. All three came from you. ## Apps similar to DUET | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Halcyon: Mahjong Solitaire](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/halcyon-mahjong-solitaire/id6803662152) | — | Free | Games | | [Word Drop Connect: Word Puzzle](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/word-drop-connect-word-puzzle/id6801547567) | — | Free | Games | | [JellySling: Physics Puzzle](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/jellysling-physics-puzzle/id6810726427) | — | Free | Games | | [Kelime Avı: Harf Bulmacası](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/kelime-av-harf-bulmacas/id6766652270) | — | Free | Games | | [Kare: Kelime Bulmaca](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/kare-kelime-bulmaca/id6717612602) | — | Free | Games | | [FOLD: Paper Number Puzzle](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/fold-paper-number-puzzle/id6811124900) | 5.0 (2) | Free | Games | ## More apps by Barıs DEDE - [Mahjong Balbal: Tile Match](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/mahjong-balbal-tile-match/id6807112821) All apps by Barıs DEDE: https://appshunter.io/developer/6800632976 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
