Jeff Widderich had the idea for Str8ts in 2008. Together with Andrew Stuart, he developed a new puzzle that is a successful successor to Sudoku. It is a puzzle where you have to enter the numbers 1 to 9 in the fields, where each digit may occur only once per line and column. With the app you can daily download new puzzles and solve them for free. There are puzzles in different difficulty levels, so that everyone will find something for their level of knowledge. If you can not find a solution, the integrated solver helps to find the next steps. The integrated solver is able to solve even the most extreme str8ts puzzles with a backtracking algorithm. So far, we've only found two puzzles where the one-step backtracking algorithm did not find a solution and needed support from the user. As a further function, you can even enter puzzles, which are available for example in printed form, by hand. An import via a text format is also possible. We thank Jeff Widderich and Andrew Stuart, who gave us permission to use the name "Str8ts". A highlight, of course, is the link from Andrew, through which he daily provides us with new puzzles for the app.

Every day, one board. Quilt is a cozy daily logic puzzle where every solve becomes a handmade patchwork. Split the grid into rectangles โ€” square, wide, or tall โ€” so every cell belongs to exactly one patch, with no gaps and no overlaps. The clues tell you each patch's size and shape. The rest is pure, calm logic. If you love Shikaku, nonograms, or a good number puzzle, this is your new daily ritual. ONE BOARD A DAY The same board for everyone, worldwide. Solve today's puzzle, build a streak, and watch your gallery fill with finished boards. Every board is guaranteed solvable by logic alone โ€” you will never have to guess.
