Read full description

Fit The Clues is a logic-grid deduction game: every case is an illustrated scene of characters and their secrets, and your job is to fill every cell of the board using nothing but the clues. Feature: 1. Simple to play: read a clue, tap a cell, pick the right value. Correct answers lock in instantly; a wrong pick costs a heart. 2. Eight kinds of clues to reason through: direct facts, neighbors and spacing ("sits beside", "3 columns apart"), positions ("just left of", "between"), comparisons, superlatives, and bundles that describe an unnamed figure you must identify. 3. Spatial clues mean what your eyes see: characters stand in real positions on screen, so "in the rightmost column" is literally the column on the right. 4. Clues arrive in deduction order, at most three at a time — solving one reveals the next, so you never face a wall of text. 5. Every case is verified by an independent solver before it ships: exactly one solution, every cell reachable by step-by-step logic. No guessing, ever. 6. Stuck? Two hints reason the way you do: Insight reveals the next cell in the intended deduction order; the Eraser wipes a whole clue off your list by completing it for you.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Fit The Clues at every 9 days against puzzling.com's every 2 months. Fit The Clues also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (924 vs 73). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. puzzling.com sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Fit The Clues sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fit The Clues holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fit The Clues has 924 ratings behind it against 73, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of puzzling.com's written reviews are positive against 33% of Fit The Clues's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

puzzling.com ships an update every 2 months, Fit The Clues every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
