## What is Tinta?

One grid of colors, one single solution, and everything can be deduced. No timer, no lives, never an ad in the middle of a grid. Just you, your logic and a pencil.

Tinta is a color deduction puzzle, a cousin of sudoku, binairo (takuzu) and nonograms. Every grid hides a secret coloring. Zero luck, zero guessing: if you're stuck, the answer is already staring at you.

HOW IT PLAYS
• Pick a color from the palette and tap a cell to fill it. Tap it again to clear it.
• Count chips tell you how many cells of a color sit in a row or column.
• The = and ≠ markers link two neighboring cells: twins, or rivals.
• The pencil rules out impossible colors, cell by cell. Eraser and undo are there when you change your mind.
• Grid full and right? You win. If something's off, we'll tell you, but not where.

THE DAILY PUZZLE
• A fresh grid every day, the same for everyone: 5×5 early in the week, 6×6 on Thursday and Friday, 4 colors on Saturday, 7×7 on Sunday.
• Play day after day to grow your streak.
• Share your result (stars, mistakes, streak) with zero spoilers.
• Missed a day? The last 14 stay playable.
• A daily reminder if you want one, at the time you choose.

360 GRIDS, FROM 4×4 TO 7×7
• All generated and verified by a logic engine: one unique solution, always reachable through pure reasoning.
• Progress through worlds: first steps in 4×4, then 5×5, 6×6 and 7×7, with 3 or 4 colors.
• Up to 3 stars per grid: no mistakes and no hints is a flawless solve.
• Every game picks up exactly where you left it.

STUCK? WE'LL EXPLAIN
• A hint doesn't just fill a cell: it shows you one and tells you why. "This row already has its 2 pink cells: this cell can't be pink."
• 3 free hints every day, plus 2 more for watching an ad, only when you ask.
• Live check fades out satisfied count chips and turns anything that breaks a rule red. It follows the rules, never the solution. Purists can switch it off.

MADE FOR CALM
• No coins, no shop, no timer, no lives.
• Ads are rare: never during a grid, never before level 20, never after the daily puzzle. And a one-time Remove Ads purchase gets rid of them for good.
• Color assist: a distinct symbol per color, so you never depend on color alone.
• On iPhone and iPad, dark mode included, playable offline.

One grid, one coffee, let logic do the talking.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.0 — 2026-09-29

Tinta 2.0 is a complete redesign.

• The daily puzzle: a new grid every day, your streak, the last 14 days replayable, and a spoiler-free result to share.
• Cells now start empty. Pick your color from the palette, rule out impossible colors with the pencil, undo whenever you like.
• Live check: a satisfied count chip fades out, a broken rule turns red. It follows the rules, never the solution.
• Hints that explain their reasoning, 3 free every day.
• 360 grids, from 4×4 to 7×7.
• Tinta comes to iPad.
• Goodbye to the Check button, coins and the shop. Stars now reward grids solved with no mistakes and no hints.
• Far fewer ads: never before level 20, never after the daily puzzle, and still never during a grid.

Your progress starts fresh with this version. Your Remove Ads purchase is kept.

### 1.3 — 2026-08-19

A quiet update, all about the small things.

• A few refinements and internal adjustments.

As always: 300 grids, no timer, no lives to lose — and never an ad in the middle of a grid.

### 1.2 — 2026-08-11

A short, useful maintenance update.

• Improved stability and technical tune-ups under the hood.

As always: 300 grids, no timer, no lives to lose — and never an ad in the middle of a grid.

### 1.1 — 2026-07-29

The game gains depth. Cells are now pieces set into a recessed board: you can see what you move and what the puzzle gives you, without a word of explanation.

• Raised pieces, recessed board, bolder colors — in light and dark alike.
• Level select fully rebuilt: solved levels are pieces, the ones ahead are empty sockets. Your progress reads at a glance.
• The home screen finally shows where you are, with the next thirty levels.
• Fixed: "Next level" did not always load the next puzzle.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-07-22

New "riso ink" look: pastel inks overlap in the background, just like the colors in your grids. Warmer on the home screen, just as crisp during play — and tuned for dark mode.
