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.
