## What is Tessera?

Tessera is a daily puzzle where the pieces are alive. Each puzzle is a small looping animation, cut into square tiles that keep moving while you reassemble them.
One puzzle for each day of the week. Seven scenes, three difficulties each (2×2, 3×3, 4×4). Some are gentle. Some take real attention.
A color overlay highlights the piece you pick up. Connected pieces stay grouped, so a bonded chain travels as one. Tap the eye icon to peek at the assembled picture, three times per puzzle.
Two optional helpers, set before each game: a grid that shows where pieces meet, and outlines around the piece in your hand. Use either, both, or neither.
If the timer feels like too much, switch on no-stress mode in Settings. The clock disappears, peeks become unlimited, and placement is more forgiving.
No ads, no accounts, no in-app purchases. Offline. English and French. iPhone and iPad.

Small polish update:

### 1.1 — 2026-06-21

A puzzle a week, and a place to keep track of them.

This Week's puzzle: a new hand-crafted animated scene drops every Sunday, right alongside today's daily puzzle. Swipe between the two on the menu.
The progress board: a quiet record of everything you've solved: your seven daily scenes and every weekly drop of the year, each dot deepening with the hardest grid you've cleared.
Calm as ever. No ads, no accounts. Today's puzzle is always offline; the weekly one downloads once, then it's yours until next Sunday..
