Three sizes, three levels of challenge: • 5×5 to learn the rules • 10×10 for a short break • 15×15 when you want to think Features: • Classic and Standard modes — play freely, or with a limit on mistakes • Hints when a puzzle stalls • Coloring mode and cross marks to track what you have ruled out • Undo for a wrong tap • Progress saved automatically — close the app and come back later • Plays offline No timers, no pressure. Just you and the grid.
