## What is Paeki?

One hidden picture. Sixteen frosted tiles. How sharp is your eye?

Every day Paeki gives you a fresh image hidden beneath a grid of frosted glass tiles. Tap a tile to reveal a piece of the picture, then type your guess. The fewer tiles you need, the higher your score. It understands what you mean — synonyms, close answers, and common variations all count.

HOW IT WORKS
• A new puzzle every day at midnight — same image for everyone
• Each tile you reveal costs points — guess early for a better score
• Use hints if you're stuck — category hint or a detailed clue
• Share your result as an emoji grid without spoiling the answer

COMPETE WITH FRIENDS
• Game Center leaderboard — daily rankings by fewest tiles revealed
• 10 achievements to unlock: streaks, speed solves, perfect scores, and more
• Share your emoji grid and challenge friends to beat your tile count

• Weekly Challenge — 7 themed puzzles a week with a cumulative score

### How often is Paeki updated?

The latest version is 1.2.1, last updated on April 1, 2026. The description mentions fresh puzzles in every update, indicating regular content additions.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.1 — 2026-06-19

A much lighter download — Paeki is now about a quarter of its previous size. Smarter answer checking recognizes more word forms (people/person, geese/goose), and the home-screen widgets now count down to the real moment the next puzzle drops, wherever you are.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-05-26

- Leaderboards are now free for everyone. Your daily scores have always submitted to Game Center; now you can see where you rank without unlocking Pro.
- Weekly Challenge scores now actually count. The themed seven-puzzle weekly run now records each solve, fills the progress dots, and unlocks the next puzzle as you go.
- Game Center reliability fixes. Scores submitted while signed-out now retry automatically once sign-in completes, so a slow Game Center connection won't cost you a leaderboard entry.
- New Pro features on the paywall: Weekly Challenge mode and Streak insurance (one missed day a week doesn't break your streak).
- Themes preview for free users — see all 10 puzzle themes before deciding to unlock.
- New Settings: How to Play replays the tutorial any time, and Delete All Data clears your local progress (your Pro purchase is restored automatically on next launch).
- Better first launch: skipping the tutorial no longer pulls up the Pro offer in the same breath. You play first, decide later.
- Quieter midnight countdown — labeled as UTC so you know when the next puzzle drops.
- Polish: tile reveal haptics, accessible Dynamic Type on the score bar, a brighter Retry button on the paywall, and a clearer empty state when the Weekly Challenge is between weeks.

### 1.2.8 — 2026-05-04

-bug fixes

### 1.2.1 — 2026-04-01

• Settings and Statistics are now separate pages — find your stats under "Additional Statistics" and your settings under "Settings."

### 1.2.0 — 2026-03-29

• New Home tab — see today's puzzle status, your streak stats, and jump straight into play.
• Game Center leaderboard — compare scores with friends right from the Home screen.
• Discover Riffl and Intuii — find our other daily puzzle games from Home.
• Cleaner results — no more cross-promo links cluttering your solve screen.
