## What is Winters Puzzles?

40 puzzles in one app — Sudoku, Nonogram, Kakuro, Pippin, Ripple and more.

Never an ad mid-puzzle, no paywall, no sign-up, and no signal required. Just open the app, pick something that looks fun and start playing.

The puzzle book that never runs out.

Winters Puzzles brings number puzzles, word games, logic challenges, card games and quick arcade-style games together in one app for iPhone and iPad.

Play something familiar, try something completely different, work through a Collection or see what Pip has picked for today. Whether you’ve got two minutes or twenty, there’s always another puzzle waiting.

PICK A PUZZLE

Explore more than 30 puzzles across number games, word games, logic challenges, spatial puzzles, classic card games and quick arcade-style games.

Play favourites including Sudoku, Kakuro, KenKen, Nonogram, Minesweeper, Word Search, Word Ladder, Hangman, Solitaire, Spider, Flow, Pippin and Ripple — alongside plenty more to discover.

Most puzzles include multiple difficulty levels, so you can keep things relaxed or get properly stuck.

PIP’S DAILIES

Wake up to a fresh set of puzzles every morning.

Pip’s Dailies gives you a new mix of puzzles to work through each day, spanning different styles and difficulty levels.

Play one when you’ve got a spare minute, or work your way through the whole set.

And if today’s selection isn’t quite what you fancy, the rest of the puzzle library is always there.

WORK THROUGH A COLLECTION

Collections bring puzzles together into sets to complete at your own pace.

Start with easier sets, move through progressively trickier ones, or dip into themed and seasonal Collections throughout the year.

Solve enough to unlock what comes next — or complete the whole set and master it.

QUICK GAMES. PROPER PUZZLES.

Not every puzzle needs half an hour.

Dip into quick, colourful games such as Memory Match, Pippin, Ripple and the arcade collection when you only have a couple of minutes, or settle into Sudoku, Solitaire, Logic Grid, Kakuro and other deeper challenges when you want something more involved.

There’s something for different moods, different skill levels and different kinds of puzzler.

MAKE ONE OF YOUR OWN

Write a puzzle for someone you know.

Create your own word games, clues, questions or emoji puzzles, choose the challenge and play it yourself before sharing it.

Send a private link to a friend and the whole puzzle travels with it — no public upload required.

A LITTLE HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT

Stuck?

Use a hint when you want a nudge, keep going without one when you don’t, and come back later without losing your place.

Winters Puzzles remembers where you left off so you can pick things back up whenever you’re ready.

ASK FOR SOMETHING FRESH

On compatible devices, Apple Intelligence can help create fresh word games, trivia rounds and Word Searches directly on your device.

Give it a theme or an idea and turn it into something new to play.

Your prompt and generated puzzle don’t need to leave your device.

MADE FOR IPHONE AND IPAD

Winters Puzzles is built specifically for Apple platforms and designed to feel at home on iPhone and iPad.

Your progress syncs between your devices with iCloud, so the puzzle you started on one device can be waiting for you on another.

And because the puzzles can be played offline, you don’t need a connection to keep playing.

KEEP SCORE, IF YOU WANT TO

Track your stats by puzzle and difficulty, earn achievements and build streaks worth keeping.

Or ignore all of that and simply enjoy the puzzles.

FREE TO PLAY

Winters Puzzles is free to download and supported by ads.

Ads never interrupt you in the middle of a puzzle.

There are no in-app purchases, no subscription and no account required.

Open the book. Pick a puzzle. There’s always another one.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.3.1 — 2026-10-04

A couple of puzzles were hidden that are actually ready for the prime time! You should be able to see "Patch" and "Trace" now.

### 2.3 — 2026-10-03

Discover seven new puzzles, with fresh daily challenges:
- Trace — Uncover a hidden word using clues about shared letters and their positions.
- Patch — Colour every patch while balancing colour counts and keeping neighbours different.
- Skid — Slide and stack numbered tiles, and see if you can beat Pip’s best.
- Tangle — Untangle themed words woven together.
- Drift — Swap letters within columns to restore a set of themed words.
- Word Dominoes — Connect compound words into a complete loop.
- Crosscut — Make two straight cuts to create four sections with matching symbols.

Word Guess is now Silhouette! Discover words through their letter shapes and clues, with your existing progress carried over.
We’ve added pencil notes to Patch and Trace, giving you room to work through possibilities. Word Search now lets you select words by tapping their first and last letters, alongside dragging.

You’ll also find clearer how-to-play guides, improved mobile layouts, smoother completion animations and fixes throughout.

### 2.2 — 2026-09-26

Challenge your friends, learn puzzles by playing them, and keep Pip on your Home Screen.

CHALLENGE A FRIEND
• Finish a daily or a free-play puzzle and send it as a "beat my time" challenge. They get the exact same board, so it's a fair race.
• Share links now work for everyone. They open in the app if it's installed, and in the browser if it isn't.
• Share a finished board to your story as a picture. It never gives the answer away.
• Share puzzles you've made with a picture, not just a link.

LEARN BY PLAYING
• Most puzzles now teach you with a hands-on guide. Pip shows you a rule, then you make the move yourself.

WIDGETS
• Pip's Dailies on your Home Screen and Lock Screen, with today's progress and your streak.
• Continue, Recently played, Popular and Try something different: jump straight back in, or find something new.

A NEW TESSERA
• Tessera has been rebuilt as a domino logic puzzle. Lay each domino so every region's rule holds.

A FRESH ARCADE
• Runner, Gridlock, Tower Stack, Threader, Rebound, Cascade, Echo and Pulse all have a new look, with more depth and light and more satisfying moves.
• Echo and Pulse now keep your best score.

AND MORE
• Every puzzle's artwork is now drawn as its real board.
• Pip greets you differently depending on the time of day, and celebrates your wins on the result card.
• Pippin and Ripple now show a clock.
• If one saved game can't be opened, your other saved games are kept.
• Plenty of smaller fixes and polish.

### 2.1 — 2026-09-24

Two new puzzles:

• Pippin — place one penguin in every row, column and colour, with no two touching. Every board has exactly one answer, and you never have to guess.
• Ripple — flood the whole board with colour in as few moves as you can. Par is the true minimum for each board.

Both join Pip's dailies.

Also new:
• Every puzzle's artwork is now drawn as its real board
• Find a puzzle by the other names you know it by — Numberlink, Calcudoku, Star Battle and more

### 2.0 — 2026-09-18

A fresh new look, plus two new ways to play:

• New look — cleaner boards and a refreshed design throughout
