For anyone who loves word games, logic puzzles and challenges with friends: every morning, Sutom brings you 11 daily puzzles (word of the day, crosswords, sudoku, word search, anagrams and six logic puzzles) to grow your vocabulary and sharpen your logic. Three ways to play: guess the word of the day in 6 tries, the same word for everyone; take a logic break (suguru, minesweeper, takuzu); challenge your friends. In English, French and Spanish. Word of the Day: Guess the secret word Six attempts to crack the mystery word, in the spirit of Wordle and Tusmo. Red letters = correct position, yellow = wrong spot, blue = not in the word. Discover new words with every game. Crosswords: Clues in the grid Definitions sit right inside the grid: follow the arrows and let your general knowledge do the rest. The classic French-style crossword (mots fléchés), reimagined for your phone. Pazuru: Logic path puzzle Trace the perfect path through the grid, passing through the numbers in order. Only one path exists. Can you find it? Sudoku: 9x9 and 6x6 grids Complete the grid as fast as you can. Classic 9x9 for enthusiasts, Mini 6x6 for a quick game. Fubuki: Math grid puzzle Place the numbers so each row and column reaches the target sum. Mental math that gets tougher through the week. 3x3 and 4x4 grids with diagonals for experts. Dotscape: Trap the bird Place walls on a hexagonal grid to stop the bird from escaping. Strategy and anticipation are key in this original turn-based brain teaser. Takuzu: Binary puzzle Fill the grid with 0s and 1s: never more than two identical digits in a row, equal counts per row and column. Grids from 6x6 to 12x12. Suguru: Block puzzle Sharpen your logic with this block puzzle: fill each block with the numbers 1 to its size, identical digits never touching. Simple rules, deep deductions. Minesweeper: The 100% logic classic Every daily board is solvable by pure deduction: no guessing, ever. Place your flags, defuse your first mistake with a second chance. Word Search: Find hidden words Scan the letter grid and swipe horizontally, vertically or diagonally to find every hidden word. Train your eye while growing your vocabulary. Anagrams: Form words from letters Scrambled letters, hidden words to discover. Connect the letters in the right order to complete the grid. A stimulating vocabulary puzzle.
