Read full description

Arrange a grid of tiles into the correct order by spinning wheels to swap the tile positions. It's part Rubik's Cube, part 15-Slider, part Wordle. Imagine taking a solved Rubik's Cube and shuffling it with five random moves. Now you know that it can be solved in five by reversing those moves. Par Score puzzles are like that. The goal is to reverse the computer's secret shuffle, so the solutions are just a few moves. Simple - but not easy! Comes in Number and Word flavours. Random wheel arrangements, random words and random shuffling moves ensure that you never get the same puzzle twice. Word puzzles are twice the challenge, because you don't know what the words are when you start the puzzle. Watch out for 'red herrings' (words that appear by chance but that aren't part of the solution). Think you're fast? Challenge another player to a race! The winner gains rating points. It's called SpinShuffle Arena. Auto-generated puzzles are fully playable offline (a connection is needed for downloading Daily Challenge puzzles or playing Arena matches).
