Tablewit is a game table for your daily break: six short logic puzzles, each with its own color and a clean, friendly look. STARS: one star in every row, column and colored area. Stars never touch, not even diagonally. HALVES: fill the grid with flowers and leaves: half of each in every row and column, never three alike in a line. LANTERNS: light the whole garden. Each lantern lights its row and column until a wall; lanterns never light each other. PLOTS: split the grid into rectangles, each holding one number equal to its size. CAMP: pitch one tent beside every tree; tents never touch. STONES: lay every domino stone so each colored group's rule holds. • Six new daily puzzles, every day, free • A 5×5 Stars Mini you can solve right on your Home Screen widget • 1,900 levels, from 3×3 to 12×12, unlocked one at a time • Every puzzle is solvable by pure logic, no guessing, ever • Stuck? Your mascot gives a hint that explains the next step, free and unlimited • Streaks, stats, Game Center and spoiler-free sharing • A daily global ranking counts only the daily puzzles (the same six for everyone) • iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, plus Home Screen widgets • Designed for everyone: VoiceOver, Dark Mode and color-blind-friendly colors and shapes • Dailies free with no ads. No account The daily puzzles are free forever, with no ads. The first 20 levels of every game are free, and a short optional video opens each next one. A one-time purchase, the Full Set, opens every level with no videos and adds the archive of past dailies, detailed stats and four color themes. No subscription.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tablewit at 100% against Microsoft Sudoku's 38%. Tablewit also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). Microsoft Sudoku's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
