One level of "UNDO" assists with "seeing what happened". And TWINS are optionally displayed for those puzzlers familiar with this solving technique. Puzzles can be entered with camera, photo album, or manually; can be saved, recalled, deleted and reordered. Text only or highlighted cell hints. "Possibles" or mini entered with a swipe. AND you can even solve 'em manually ! No Ads ! No in-APP-purchases !
