About

Sunflowers

Features
Read full description

Sunflowers is a garden-themed deduction puzzle. Every number tells you how many sunflowers hide in the squares around it. Read the clues, work out where the flowers grow, and fill the bed. Every board is generated so that logic alone finishes it. Never a guess, never a coin flip. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • Shaped garden beds: plus, ring and diamond boards where the walls change what every number can see. • Hints that teach: ask why, and the game frames the clue, highlights the squares it decides and explains the rule in one sentence. Then apply it or make the move yourself. • Seasons: sixty hand-picked boards in six chapters, each one introducing a new way of reasoning, from simple counting to what-if logic. • Your garden: every finished board plants a flower. Twelve varieties to grow, each a small trophy for a different kind of play. • Daily puzzle with a real streak and a browsable archive. Sundays bring a shaped bed. • Six tiers from Seedling (5×5) to Harvest (15×15). Each tier unlocks a deeper deduction rule. MADE TO BE CALM Pencil marks, unlimited undo, resume any board where you left it, light and dark themes, gentle sounds and haptics. Works fully offline, no account needed. Game Center achievements and a daily leaderboard for those who like a little competition. FREE AND PRO Seedling, Sprout and Bud tiers, the daily puzzle with a week of archive, and the first two Seasons are free. Sunflowers Pro unlocks every tier, shaped beds, unlimited hints, the full archive and all Seasons. Plant a flower. Trust your logic. Keep your streak alive.
