## What is Rather?

Puzzles, rather than scrolling.
Ten new logic, number and word puzzles every day, from Easy to Expert. Block the apps you reach for until you've solved one. See your week with friends.

APP BLOCKER (IPHONE)
Pick the apps you open without thinking. They stay blocked until you solve one of today's puzzles, then open until midnight. A blocked app shows "Open Rather", which brings you to Today. Turn it off any time. The first blocker is free. Screen Time keeps your picks on your iPhone: Rather only sees how many.

TODAY
The same ten puzzles for everyone, from ten different games: three Easy, three Medium, two Hard, two Expert. Each tile says about how long it takes, so you pick what fits the moment. When you've played them: "That's all for today."

FRIENDS
Invite a friend with a link or a code. See each other's day and this week's stars on one small board that starts fresh every Monday. Tap a friend for their stars and times. Invite only: no search, no public profiles. You can report or block anyone.

REMINDERS AND WIDGETS
Up to five reminders at the times and days you choose. They only come on days you haven't solved anything yet. Widgets show your streak and today's puzzles on the Home Screen and Lock Screen.

THE GAMES
- Number grid: fill every row, column and box with 1 to 9.
- Stars: one star in every row, column and colour. Stars never touch.
- Word guess: guess the five-letter word in six tries.
- Nonogram: the numbers are the runs of filled squares. Reveal the hidden picture.
- Math cages: every cage makes its number with its sign.
- Binary grid: zeros and ones, never three alike.
- Pattern: each row and column follows a rule. Find the missing piece.
- Pipes: turn the tiles until every pipe joins.
- Sliding tiles: slide the numbers into order.
- Pairs: turn two cards and find the matching pieces.
- Thread: one line through every square, passing the numbers in order.
- Loop: one closed loop along the dots. Each number counts its sides on the loop.
- Islands: split the grid into islands. Each number is the size of its island.
- Towers: fill the grid with heights. Each number counts the towers seen from there.

LEARN
Every game has a course. Start with how it works, then learn one solving trick at a time, with puzzles that need it. A free account opens a new trick lesson each day.

YOUR STATS
The days you played and your stars in each game. On iPhone, how long your blockers held this week. With Rather More, your whole history and your usual and fastest times.

CALM BY DESIGN
- Up to three stars for each solved puzzle.
- A hint when you're stuck. Errors shows mistakes when you ask.
- Light and dark, following your phone.
- No ads.

ACCOUNT AND RATHER MORE
A free account plays seven of each day's ten puzzles, with friends, reminders and one app blocker. Rather More adds the other three, every past daily to play any time, more hints, and up to four more blockers with your own hours and rules.

Five minutes you'd rather have.
