## What is Lightwell?

Lightwell is a clean logic puzzle inspired by Akari, the Japanese “Light Up” puzzle.

Place lights to illuminate the board. Lights shine horizontally and vertically until blocked by a wall. Numbered walls tell you exactly how many lights touch them. Every cell must be lit, and no two lights can see each other.

Simple rules. Pure deduction.

If you love Sudoku, Minesweeper, Picross, Nonograms, or the daily Mini and Strands, Lightwell was made for you.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-06-26*

This game is a chill puzzle game, the daily puzzles are a quick way to get thinking any time of day. There are a lot of levels for the free version and I plan to get pro soon

### 5/5 — This game literally saved my life

*2026-06-15*

Before playing this game, I was going through my worst case of depression, my OCD was driving me mad, and I genuinely lost all hope in life and living. I didn’t want to see what would I confront in the next day. 

Then I started playing this game and like a beacon of light, I saw hope glance to me directly in the face. I was a raging alcoholic, with no job and no family. Now I’m 2 days clean, with no job and no family. I finally met someone and they like me for who I am. 

What I am is a logic puzzle solver, that is my purpose in life. Thank you.

### 5/5 — This game changed my life

*2026-06-09*

My life was headed in the wrong direction and this game set me straight, this game filled a void for me. 

Very calming and stimulating especially when you need something to pass the time, highly recommend if you’re looking to challenge yourself mentally but not stress out. 🙏

**Developer response:** I’m glad I could change your life! Thanks for the review!

### 5/5 — Incredibly fun

*2026-06-05*

This game scratches the perfect itch that some puzzle games lack. It’s so clean I can’t put it down.
