Linglong is the classic tangram, brought to a calm, modern puzzle. You are given the seven tangram pieces and an empty outline. Slide, rotate, and flip the pieces until they fill the outline with no gaps and no overlaps. There is no timer and no pressure, just you and the shape. Any arrangement that fills the outline is correct, so there is always more than one way to solve it. Solve a puzzle without using a hint to earn all three stars. 100 HAND-CRAFTED PUZZLES Every outline is built from a real solution, so each one is guaranteed to be solvable. The puzzles start gentle and grow trickier as you go. FIVE THEMED PACKS Animals Boats & Travel People Letters & Numbers Objects SIMPLE TO PLAY Drag a piece to move it Tap a piece to rotate it, or use the rotate buttons Flip the parallelogram when a shape needs its mirror Pieces snap into place, so exact positioning is forgiving Undo and Reset whenever you like An optional hint drops one piece into place if you are stuck The seven pieces are told apart by shape as well as colour Plays offline, one hand, in portrait No account and no sign-up REMOVE ADS (OPTIONAL) Linglong is free to play with a short advert break after some levels. If you prefer, a one-time purchase removes those advert breaks for good. The optional hint uses a short rewarded advert for players who have not purchased; once you remove ads, hints are free. Restore Purchases is in Settings. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
