About
Draw one thread through the numbered knots in order and fill every square exactly once. İlmek is a calm logic puzzle with a fresh daily challenge and as much Workshop play as you like.
Play at your own pace
• Choose 5×5, 6×6, 7×7 or 8×8 boards in Workshop and keep opening new puzzles.
• Find a new daily puzzle, or return to earlier days in the calendar archive.
• No streak counter or countdown. Solve each puzzle in your own time.
Follow the Journey
Explore 60 carefully selected puzzles across six chapters. Follow one-way arrows, pass straight through bridges, stitch around stone walls and let portals carry the thread to their partner. Master's Hand brings 9×9 boards, few knots and a single hint. Each first-time Journey completion adds a piece to its chapter's motif.
Meydan
Duels and rankings in one place. Send a Workshop puzzle to a friend, they solve the same board and your times are compared. Every solve earns İlmek points; if you like, see where you stand on today's, this week's and all-time lists in Game Center. Rankings are optional and never appear on the board.
Make it yours
Build six motifs, from Daylight and Olive Branch to Kilim Border, Evil Eye and Tree of Life. Progress through the Journey to unlock Linen, Sage, Velvet, Clay, Silk and Wool. Your chosen cloth and thread appear on every board.
Take a three-puzzle break
A short session brings you one 5×5, one 6×6 and one 7×7 puzzle, in that order. Your progress is saved on your device.
Feel the thread
Drag from the tip or tap an empty neighboring square. Use a hint, undo a step or confirm a restart. Soft haptics and sounds can be turned off in Settings.
Choose light or dark appearance, larger text layouts and Reduce Motion. Available in English, Turkish and German.
No account or ads; internet is needed only for optional duels and rankings. No in-app purchases. Outside duels and rankings İlmek collects no data; your game saves stay on your device.
