Chessoku is a logic puzzle made from chess pieces. A few pieces belong somewhere on a small board, and each number tells you how many of them attack that square. Work out where every piece stands. Every puzzle has exactly one solution. You don't need to know chess. Each piece is taught with a short animated lesson the first time you meet it. HOW TO PLAY - Drag pieces from your tray onto the board. - A number counts the pieces attacking that square. A 0 means none do. - Rooks, bishops and queens are stopped by anything in their way. Knights jump over. - Place every piece so all the numbers match, and the puzzle is solved. JOURNEY One long path of levels. It starts with a single rook on a 3×3 board and grows to 5×5 boards with several pieces at once. New rules arrive as you go: stones that block attacks, pieces already fixed on the board, revealed threats, colored areas and more. Each one is explained when it first appears, and Discoveries keeps them all, with coins for every one you find. Hard and Very Hard levels are marked and pay extra coins. DAILY PUZZLE A new puzzle every day, the same one for everyone. Each day has its own sticker: solve the puzzle to add it to your collection, then share it. Missed a day? Earlier days of the current month stay open. Collect stickers through the month to earn coin rewards. POWER-UPS Power-ups unlock as you progress through the Journey: - Reveal Number shows the count on a hidden square. - Reveal Threat shows which piece type attacks a square. - Reveal Piece shows where one hidden piece stands. ALSO - No timer in Journey or Daily puzzles. Take as long as you like. - Weekly and global leaderboards open at level 40. - Available in 18 languages. - A one-time No Ads purchase removes ads and lets you play the Journey offline.
Link Grid

Link Grid is a relaxing number-path puzzle: connect every matching pair of numbers with a single unbroken line, without crossing any other path, until the entire grid is filled. Simple to learn in seconds — deep enough to keep you thinking for months. HOW TO PLAY Drag from one numbered node to its match. Every path you draw has to reach its partner without crossing itself or another colour, and when the whole board is covered, the level is solved. No timers forcing your hand, no penalties for taking your time — just you, the grid, and the satisfaction of a perfect fill. 100 LEVELS, 10 CHAPTERS A hand-tuned difficulty curve takes you from an easy 4x4 warm-up through ten themed chapters, each introducing one new twist before folding it into the puzzles that follow: - Bonus Stars to route your paths through for extra rewards - Stone Walls that block direct routes and force real detours - Locked Doors that only open for their matching colour - One-Way Streets that only let you enter from one direction - Portal Networks that teleport your path across the board - Switches & Gates that only open once another path crosses their switch - Crossing Bridges where two paths pass over each other without connecting The final Convergence and Mastery chapters combine everything you've learned into the toughest grids in the game. DAILY CHALLENGE A brand-new puzzle every day, completely separate from your main progress, with its own streak counter and history strip — so a rough week on the main levels never costs you your streak, and a big campaign push never spoils tomorrow's daily puzzle. EARN YOUR HINTS Hints aren't handed out for free and they don't refill just by restarting — you earn them by clearing a level with all three stars for the first time, or by keeping your Daily Challenge streak alive. When you do use one, it nudges you a few steps along the right path instead of just solving the whole thing for you. MAKE IT YOURS Seven distinct visual themes — from a glowing Neon Grid to a calm Zen Garden, an Ice World, and beyond — plus a colour-blind assist mode that labels every path with its number so colour is never the only clue. CHASE YOUR AWARDS A dozen achievements track everything from your very first connection to flawless no-hint clears, full-chapter sweeps, and long Daily Challenge streaks, each with live progress so you always know how close you are. Link Grid plays entirely offline — no account, no always-on connection required, just open it and start connecting.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Link Grid at none against Chessoku's 10. Link Grid also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
