## What is Vellara?

Vellara is a puzzle book for your phone: More than 20 puzzle in large, clear type. Crossword, sudoku, word search, maze, solitaire, mahjong and more — each with five levels of difficulty.

Made for anyone who wants to read comfortably. Large print you can make larger still, generous buttons and calm colours; no fiddly tapping and no hurry.

No account, no signing in, no internet needed. You open the app and you play.

THE PUZZLES

- Crossword — Fill in from the clues
- Maze — Find the way to the exit
- Spot the difference — Two pictures side by side
- Fill-In — Fit them all in, no clues given
- Arrowword — Clues inside the grid
- Logic puzzle — Match up and rule out
- Filippine — Fill in and reveal a hidden word
- Hourglass — Each word one letter different
- Suguru — Digits per block, never adjacent
- Battleships — Find the hidden ships
- Binary puzzle — Only zeros and ones
- Arrows — Tap an arrow and away it goes
- Mahjong — Take away two matching tiles
- Nonogram — Numbers at the edges, a picture in the grid
- Star Battle — One star in every row, column and region
- Murder Mystery — Who was the only one with the victim?
- Patience — The classic card game

MADE TO READ EASILY
• Large type, and you can make it larger still
• Pinch to zoom in on any board, or use the A− and A+ buttons
• Light paper or a dark setting, with extra contrast if you prefer it
• Generous touch targets: no fiddly tapping

AT YOUR OWN PACE
• Five levels of difficulty for every kind of puzzle, from a gentle start to expert
• A puzzle you leave half-finished is still there next time
• Statistics for each kind of puzzle: how many you solved, how quickly, and how you compare with the target time
• A rating that grows with what you can handle, and a small celebration when you put a run together

QUIET PLAYING
• For your first three hours of play you see no advertising at all
• After that, at most one per forty minutes of play — never in the middle of a puzzle, and never just as you want to see your result
• Everything works without an internet connection
• Nothing is asked of you: no email address, no registration

LANGUAGES
English, Dutch, German, French and Spanish.
