Read full description

Combien is a game of skill, speed and accuracy. Play across all of your Apple devices including iPhone, iPad and Mac, wherever you are, even when you are offline without WiFi. How to Play: A random question will be shown at the top of the screen. You will have a short time to count the number of shapes on the screen to answer the question. Once the time is up, you will be shown four possible answers. Choose the correct answer to win points and progress to the next level. Choosing the incorrect answer will cause you to lose one of your three lives. The time to count the shapes will decrease as you complete more levels. After completing a number of levels you will be shown a bonus question. The bonus questions are worth more points, but they are more difficult. You do not lose a life if you answer a bonus question incorrectly. Choose from 3 difficulty levels. Keep track of your high scores in the app and play again to try to improve your skill.

We created the Printable Sudoku app in response to a survey that we administered to thousands of daily users from our Sudoku valeur.org web applications. Our survey showed that Sudoku puzzlers wanted a self-explanatory, easy-to-use app where they could print out daily Sudoku puzzles instead of going to a webpage and scavenging through multiple pages. The Printable Sudoku app is exactly what our Sudoku puzzlers want! The app gives users access to the four Sudoku puzzles we create each and every day: easy, medium, hard, and expert. Each day, you can either print each level separately, or you can choose to print all four at once. All with just a few clicks in the app! To use this app, you will need Internet access to retrieve your daily new Sudoku puzzles, as well as a printer to print them out. However, unlike other puzzle or game apps out there, the Printable Sudoku app does not have any advertising, subscription fees, in-app purchases, or tracking. In other words, you can use this app every day with no surprises or extra costs. We hope that the Printable Sudoku app will become one of your favorite daily puzzle apps.
