Word Cubes 3D is a word puzzle you play with your hands. Four to six letter cubes sit in front of you. Every face of every cube is shown below them, so you read the letters, plan a word, and rotate the cubes to build it. Each level gives you a board of words to find and a budget of moves to find them in. Spot a word that is not on the board and it still pays. A CUBE THAT PLAYS ALONG One of your letter cubes has come alive. It hops when you find a word, flips for the golden one, cheers your combos, sweats when moves run low, and rolls you on to the next level. Tap it on the home screen, or give it a spin. PLAN, THEN ROTATE The letter strips under the cubes show all six faces, laid out the way each cube turns, so you can plan every move before you make it. A BOARD, NOT A QUOTA Every level lists the words it wants, with a golden word worth extra. Bonus words count too. A DAILY WORD One hidden word a day, six tries, feedback on every guess, and a share grid for your friends. Keep your streak. THEMES YOU EARN Wood, marble, neon, galaxy, and more, unlocked as you play, never sold. A theme changes the cubes, the background, and the celebration when you find a word. HINTS WHEN YOU WANT THEM Hint shows the next hidden letter of a word, and your first hint on every level is free. Solve builds a whole word for you without spending a move. CLUES YOU EARN Every bonus word you find reveals a letter on the board. 200 levels across two phases, daily rewards, and a lucky spin. Free to play, no energy, no timers.

About

Noctagram

Features
Read full description

A quieter kind of nonogram — where every puzzle you solve becomes a constellation in a night sky that is entirely your own. Noctagram is a picture-logic puzzle game (nonogram / picross / griddler) wrapped in a calm, star-lit world. Read the number clues, fill the grid row by row — but here the finished picture doesn't just vanish. It ignites. A single line traces through your solved cells, a constellation takes shape, and you name it and seal it into your sky forever. Solve enough, and the darkness fills with stars only you have lit. — WHY NOCTAGRAM IS DIFFERENT — A sky you build, not a gallery you clear. Most nonogram games hand you a pixel picture and move on. Here, each solution is a named constellation added to one living, growing night sky. Your progress isn't a percentage — it's a map of light. 248 constellations, every one named by hand. No random shapes. Each puzzle was designed and christened in the style of a real star chart — unique, quietly poetic, waiting in the dark for you. Made to be calm. No timers. No lives. No pressure. Just clean logic, soft light, and a gentle soundscape. Play a single grid to unwind, or lose an hour among the stars. — HOW IT PLAYS — • Classic nonogram rules — deduce the picture from the number clues. • Puzzles from small and cozy to large and deep (5×5 up to 20×20). • A warm coral fill and a cool marking cross — easy on the eyes, clear at a glance. • A hand-crafted "sealing" ceremony every time you complete a puzzle. • Auto-save and one-tap continue — pick up exactly where you left off. Fill the grid. Light the stars. Name your sky. Noctagram — picross beneath the night.
