## What is Puzzmo?

Hello! If you're reading this you either really love Puzzmo or you are somehow undecided about our app. Let's be clear: you should download the app. We made it for you and it's free and it's really good! What do you have to lose?

Puzzmo is the center of the puzzle universe. You'll find fresh original games by brilliant designers like Zach Gage and new daily puzzles for modern classics like Cross|word, SpellTower, Flipart, Typeshift, Pile-Up Poker, Memoku, and more. You'll also find a little puzzle at the bottom of this AppStore description. Go on, scroll to the bottom.

NEW: MEMOKU
Inspired by the classic memory game, Memoku invites you to match pairs of numbers, but there's a twist – like Sudoku, no number can appear in the same row, column, or box twice. 

BONGO
Bongo challenges you to build a better board out of twenty five tiles, often picked on a theme by Puzzmo's friends, community members, and celebrity guests. There’s always a better board.

PILE-UP POKER
Pile-Up Poker is a twist on traditional poker where players build rows and columns of poker hands. The objective is to create the highest overall score by adding cards one by one to the gird, making strategic decisions along the way. 

FLIPART
Flipart is a modern twist on digital jigsaw puzzles. This free daily puzzle challenges you to rearrange Tetris-like shapes by tapping the pivot points so that none of the shapes overlap and they all fit within the border. Flipart puzzles are enjoyable for kids and adults alike!

TYPESHIFT
Typeshift is our free, daily captivating word puzzle game that challenges your vocabulary, spatial reasoning, and wit. Solve puzzles by shifting columns of letters like a combination lock to form words. Each puzzle is a fun brain-teaser chock full of both word search and strategy.

CROSS|WORD
Puzzmo crossword puzzles are for everyone. Some of the world’s top solvers compete daily for the fastest solve on Puzzmo, but that doesn’t mean we’re here to stump you. In fact if you’re new to crosswords or struggling complete a grid, we’re here to help. Only Puzzmo crosswords offer an optional, easier hint with every single clue. 

CUBECLEAR
Cube Clear is a word puzzle game where players spell words in a grid whose letters then disappear. Longer words score higher points, and adjacent tiles disappear after use, causing remaining tiles to tumble to the bottom of the grid. With only 36 letters, the challenge of Cube Clear is two-fold. Can you clear the board, and in how few words? 

WORDBIND
Wordbind is a directional anagram game that challenges you to discover new words hidden within the chosen words of the day. You can only key in letters from left to right, you’re allowed to skip letters, and you can use the same letter twice to find the perfect word. With each word you find, you rise the ranks on your way to Luminary status.

REALLY BAD CHESS
Aside from the small advantage white gains by making the first move, chess is a battle of wits between two competitors with the same pieces in the same positions. Puzzmo’s free daily Really Bad Chess game turns all of that “fairness” on its head. For example, you might have a huge material advantage with three queens while your computer opponent might have no queens and five rooks. The pieces may look random, but your advantage is carefully calculated!

SPELLTOWER
SpellTower is a two-dimensional grid of letters that looks like your typical word search puzzle. But unlike a traditional word search, you can change directions, cross your own path, go diagonal, and even spell backwards! This freedom of movement allows you to find more complex and challenging words, but this isn’t the only twist with SpellTower. As you use letters, they disappear from the grid, with the ultimate goal being a perfect, total clear of the entire board.

You found it! If you can solve this classic riddle, enter the answer at puzzmo.com/code

"Forward I’m heavy, backwards I’m not. What word am I?"

Happy puzzling!

### 2/5 — Fine set of puzzle games

*2026-07-10*

Solid app with a fine set of puzzle games, especially if you like a bit of competition. That said, to get the full suite of games, you gotta be willing to add another subscription service to your monthly bill. The archive interface is also a bit clunky

### 5/5 — App not opening

*2026-07-09*

I have been having a REAL hard time opening this app recently. It just doesn’t wanna open anymore, I usually have to wait until I’m home to do the puzzles on my laptop or my PC. Please fix this ASAP, I LOVE your app!

### 5/5 — Stunning (if I could use it)

*2026-07-01, version 1.2.3*

I LOVE Puzzmo, as a disclaimer, but since a few days ago all I get is the yellow screen before the app closes itself… I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling too, and apparently it’s not just me with this issue. Pls look into fixing it!!

App issues aside, the free puzzles are great, if not very Americanised, but most crossword clues can be solved once you get the other connecting answers (plus some brute forcing doesn’t hurt anyone). The circuits are much harder with the Americanisms, but still not impossible with the bolt system, which I love. Very very worth it to kill a few minutes during the day… when it opens.

### 1/5 — Great app until it broke

*2026-06-26, version 1.2.3*

I can no longer get Puzzmo to open. I get the yellow screen and nothing else. It can’t just be me? I’m on an iPhone 12.

### 2/5 — Ads block the game

*2026-06-18*

I really love this app. I decided that I just can’t handle the NYT games, even, with how trashy the journalism has become, so I found a new app. It has great games and I don’t mind the ads in general, but there is one type that hides the lower portion of the screen and you can’t play. Closing the app doesn’t help; it’s still there. So, if it were playable, would give it 5 stars. As it is…I don’t think I’ll continue playing.

### 3/5 — Great if you speak American

*2026-06-06, version 1.2.3*

Loads of excellent puzzles here which bring me back every morning. However the word puzzles in particular would be greatly improved if the devs brought in a non-US English speaker as a checker. Circuits in particular uses Americanisms and on some days is inaccessible to international audiences including the world’s native English speakers.

### 1/5 — Now Pay to play

*2026-03-08, version 1.2.3*

This game was good for a few months, but now rather than being able to play 5-6 puzzles/games for free or as a subscriber, they suddenly changed to one puzzle a day unless you pay for membership. Not sure why they had to ruin the experience that way. Sad to delete.

### 4/5 — Great app but broken Pepsi ads make games unplayable

*2026-02-21*

Please ban those stupid Pepsi adds that cover over your entire UI. I can’t play circuits without a non X-able cherry Pepsi ad blocks the entire keyboard. Great app but do better.

### 5/5 — 🐠🫧✨absolutely obsessed! the subscription IS worth it :D

*2026-02-13, version 1.2.2*

ik a lot of people are rating the app poorly due to the paywall/daily game cap. one of the developers explained the reasoning in their discord server, which was that, (from what i remember) in order to continue to support the app, they could either add video ads or change how the daily games are limited in the free version of the app. i believe the community and/or developers decided it would be better to limit the game cap than to have to have ads popping up/displaying.

now onto my actual review: i LOVE puzzmo! i go totally obsessed w pile up poker over the summer, and i absolutely chewed through the daily games. i managed to get one of my roommates to start playing with me, which led to my interest in the other games. i was definitely hesitant to spend the money to get a yearly subscription, but i absolutely do not regret it. i literally cannot imagine not playing 90% of the games every single day with my roommates now. i think ive gotten five or six people to download it at this point, lol.

overall, the games are insanely fun to play, whether it be by yourself or competing against/playing with friends (depending on how competitive you are lol). the ui is also insanely cute, and i really appreciate how dedicated the team behind it is to listening to community feedback and constantly improving the experience.

overall, highly highly recommend it, especially the premium version. if you decide to download it, see if you can spot me sometime @spock#:3 !

### 5/5 — Love the app / interface special request

*2026-02-09*

This app is my favorite - especially the crossword. When I found myself doom scrolling, I’d exit social media and do a few crossword puzzles from the vault instead. Now my mental health is soaring.

The app is perfect on a phone but it’s a bit difficult to play on a tablet. The puzzle is tiny and you can’t zoom in. IIIIIIIf you’re taking requests, any chance we could get an update that allows the crossword to take up most of the screen? 

I’d also love an option where you only get one clue at a time- having all the clues take up the whole screen can be a bit distracting.

Love yall. Love your puzzles. Thanks so much for creating this app!
