This is an educational game that allows you to learn the u.s.a map as if you play a jigsaw puzzle produced by Digital Gene. This game is designed to be simple yet fun to play. Not only people who like the map, but also who are not good at geography can enjoy playing it. The app is best suited for people who want to learn the United States of America map or students who want to get ready for the exams. Or why don't you try this game to stay sharp during your spare time? You can improve your knowledge as you play the game aiming for the best time or compete against players from all over the world. You can also collect picture panels when you satisfy certain conditions. So do your best to get all of them. There are various modes available, including a [training] mode with the state names and boundaries, a [basic] mode testing only state names, and an [expert] mode without hints. When you're stuck on finding the location of a state, use the [Assist] function. It will help you to navigate the correct location without hassling yourself. However you will be added a 30 seconds penalty when you use the [assist] function. If you want to achieve a higher ranking, it'd better not to use this function.

Binary logic, graded by the technique each board actually needs. Fill a grid with two symbols under three rules: never three of the same symbol in a row, an equal count of each per line, and no two identical rows or columns. Tap a cell to cycle it. That is the whole game. DIFFICULTY THAT MEANS SOMETHING Boards are labelled by the DEEPEST solving technique they genuinely require — Dawn, Day, Dusk and Night — computed by the same deterministic solver that proves each board has exactly one solution. Dawn, Day and Dusk are solvable by pure forward deduction: no hypotheticals, no guessing. Night asks for exactly one bounded "what-if" chain that resolves in a few steps, never open-ended trial and error. We say that precisely rather than promising a "never guess" that a hard board would contradict. WHY YOU'LL STAY • One puzzle a day, byte-identical worldwide, with no server • Streaks, and a fully reconstructible free archive • Several sizes, from a quick grid to a long sit-down • Hints reveal the next forced cell, never the answer MADE TO BE COMFORTABLE • The two symbols always differ in SHAPE, not just colour, at every cell size • A colorblind-safe palette and a fully accessible input path • Play in English, German, Arabic, Persian or Kurdish (Sorani) • Proper right-to-left layout and localized numerals • Fully offline. No account, no sign-up FREE, HONESTLY The daily, the archive, streaks and stats are free with light optional ads. Rewarded video is opt-in and only ever buys a hint. No banner ads on the board, ever. One purchase removes all ads and lifts the hint cap — no subscription.
