About
Five houses in a row. Who keeps the zebra?
ZEBRA takes Einstein's famous riddle and generates a fresh one every time — always exactly one answer, always reachable by logic alone.
Read a clue, rule something out, and watch the last house fall into place.
Also known as the Zebra Puzzle or Einstein's Riddle, this is the logic grid puzzle with a twist: you're not just matching pairs, you're working out the order. Left, right, next to, at the end.
◆ Exactly one answer, never a guess
Every puzzle is checked by the built-in logic engine before you see it: one unique solution, reachable by deduction alone. Puzzles that fail either test are never shown.
◆ Deduce the order, not just the pairs
- The ivory house is immediately to the left of the green house
- Milk is drunk in the middle house
- The Norwegian lives next to the blue house
Combine clues like these to pin down the row, one house at a time.
◆ Features
- Four sizes: 3, 4, 5 and 6 houses. Five is the size of the original riddle
- The original Einstein zebra puzzle, included
- A visual row of houses that fills in as you solve — roofs take their colour once you know it
- A question for every puzzle, and houses that light up when you finish
- Tap a clue to highlight the houses and cells it refers to; fully used clues dim automatically

- Daily Challenge: one shared puzzle for everyone, every day
- Weekly Challenge: a new six-house puzzle every Monday
- Past dailies: play any day you missed from the calendar

- Adjustable clue text size and dark mode

◆ Perfect for
- Anyone who has solved Einstein's riddle on paper and wants more
- Fans of logic grid puzzles, sudoku and brain teasers looking for something deeper
- Players who'd rather learn how to think through a puzzle than be told the answer
- A quiet, offline brain game for commutes and flights
