The word is given. The route isn't. PIVOT is a daily puzzle about finding the shortest path. Every day everyone gets the same 3x6 grid of letters and the same target word - shown to you from the start. Your job isn't to guess it. It's to get there in the fewest moves. Tap any pivot dot and the four letters around it rotate clockwise. That's the whole rulebook. Learning it takes ten seconds; finding the shortest route takes longer, and there is always a shorter route than the one you found. Most solves take about a minute. HOW TO PLAY - A new puzzle is released every day at midnight Eastern - The target word is shown - no guessing, no vocabulary test - Tap any dot between four letters to rotate them clockwise - Spell the target word in the highlighted middle row - Fewer moves = better score FEATURES - One puzzle a day - the same one for everyone - Global leaderboard - ranked by fewest moves - Par system - every puzzle has a par score to beat - Streak tracking - build your daily solving streak - Challenge friends - compare routes move by move - Custom puzzles - create and share Easy, Medium, or Hard boards - Friend Circles - private groups with weekly standings - Live Races - play best-of-3, 5, or 7 series - Stats & history - track your progress over time - Dark mode - easy on the eyes, day or night PIVOT is free, with no ads and no in-app purchases.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: PIVOT at none against Dot Blast!'s shown. Dot Blast!'s advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
