A grid appears. A few cells hold a big friendly number. Press and drag: a candy-colored box stretches under your finger, counting its cells live. A box around a "6" must cover exactly 6 cells.

PLAY EVERY DAY • the daily boxd: one fresh puzzle a day, the same board for everyone • the sticker book: every daily pressed into a monthly album, gold for perfect, silver for fast, bronze for done. Miss a day and the slot stays empty forever. That's the thrill • ten packs, 420 levels: from a genuine 4×4 on-ramp for kids to 12×12 boards for experts; every pack is open from day one • seasons: halloween, diwali, día de muertos, harvest and winter, each open a few weeks a year with shaped boards, its own colors, music and a costume for your companion • festival days: on a season's big day the daily becomes a festival board that presses a limited sticker PLAY TOGETHER • the ring: a worldwide leaderboard, points, streak, stars • boxd bouts: host live races for 2 to 8 boxers, now or at a time you pick, 1 to 5 rounds, with invites and reminders • share cards: turn any win into a sticker worth sending MAKE IT YOURS • a companion: cubby and friends ride along after your first win, react to your play and chat in boxdish • ten themes: pop, neon, sorbet, high-contrast ink, neo-brutal, vaporwave and more • the timer is optional and never shouts • works fully offline; sign-in is optional and only powers leaderboards & bouts No ads.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: boxd at every 2 weeks against Cake5's every 4 months. Cake5's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
