iSameGame is SameGame in 3D. Tap a group of two or more touching spheres of one colour to select it, tap again to clear it. The spheres above fall, empty columns close up, and a group of n scores n(n−1)×10, so ten at once is worth 900 and twenty is worth 3,800. Every board the app deals can be cleared, and clearing it earns a 2,000 bonus. EVERY BOARD IS A CODE C-7K3P9Q deals the same board on every iPhone and iPad, and at samegame.app, so send it to a friend and compare scores on exactly the same puzzle. Each day has four daily boards, one per size, with a Game Center leaderboard for each, all-time leaderboards per size, ten achievements, and on iOS 26 challenges on today's board. FOUR SIZES Easy (8×10, three colours), Classic (8×12, five colours, the board from 2008), Large (10×16) and Expert (12×18). MADE TO BE PLAYED Unlimited undo and redo. A hint when you want one. Every finished game is kept with a replay you can watch move by move, and your bests follow you from iPhone to iPad through iCloud. Press New until a board leans your way, then step back to the one you skipped. Drag to tilt the board, pinch to zoom. Sound and haptics you can turn off. YOUR LOOK Matte, glossy or flat spheres. A high-contrast palette, and symbols on the spheres, for colour-blind players. The selection as an outline, a wire grid or a glow. iSameGame first shipped on the App Store in 2008. Version 6 is a new app on the same idea: the scoring is the one it always had, the boards are still guaranteed clearable, and the spheres are now real ones, lit, that you can tilt. Free, no account, no ads.

Inkfalls

Letters fall. Words rise. The rarer the etymology, the higher the score. Inkfalls is a quiet, parchment-styled word puzzle. Single letters drop down an 8 by 14 grid. Form a valid English word along a row or column and it clears in gold ink. Form a word made of letters borrowed from a rare ancestor tongue and the score multiplier climbs. Inkfalls ships with eight game modes: - Marathon: an endless run that ramps up with your score. - Daily Folio: one worldwide letter sequence per day, one attempt, resets at UTC midnight. - Lexicon: a 30 level handcrafted campaign that introduces a new constraint and a small history note at each level. - Sprint: ninety seconds against the clock. - Zen: no clock and no game over, a calm session. - Master: the letter bag is biased toward J, Q, X, and Z for etymology hunters. - Crossword: letters that clear in both directions score double. - Polyglot: the etymology multiplier table is reshuffled each Monday so yesterday's rare may be today's common. Every word is scored by its real etymological tier, hand curated across ten ancestor groups: Old English, Norman French, Latin, Old Norse, Greek, Celtic, Arabic, Sanskrit, East Asian, and Indigenous. The Etymology Reference inside the app lays out each tier with example words and the multiplier it grants. The soundtrack is generated procedurally as you play. Three voices, a sine piano, a sawtooth cello, and a triangle reed, weave a slow line that brightens as the grid fills. There is no licensed music and no third party SDK in the binary. Inkfalls includes a 25 achievement set and local progress saved with SwiftData.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: iSameGame at Free against Inkfalls's $0.99. Inkfalls's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 9 months) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
