Some days you want to think in words. Some days you want to think in numbers. Some days you just want to sit with a puzzle and feel your brain work. Puzzle Stack is built for all of those days. Four games live inside the stack: Wordzy, Sudoku, Gridlock, and Word Jam. The first three have their own daily puzzle, their own rhythm, and their own streak to protect. Play all three and you're building three habits at once - or just come back for the one you love most. - Wordzy gives you six attempts to find the hidden word. Every guess is a clue. It's quick, sharp, and a new word shows up every morning. - Sudoku is the one you already know. We made it feel really good to play. One clean grid a day, nothing in the way. - Gridlock is a logic puzzle. Fill the right cells, follow the rules, and the grid tells you exactly when you've got it. - Word Jam gives you a handful of scrambled letters and asks you to find every hidden word. Hundreds of levels, each one a little trickier than the last. Miss a day? The archive holds the previous puzzles for each game so you can go back whenever you're ready. Earn badges as you play - each game has its own set of challenges to complete. They're there for the people who like having something to chase. Boosters are earned through play, not purchased. No ads, no countdown timers, no pressure. Terms of Use: axiantlabs.com/puzzlestack/terms-of-use Privacy Policy: axiantlabs.com/puzzlestack/privacy-policy Support: support@axiantlabs.com
Valley Sort
Read full descriptionHide full description
A crowd of robed travellers waits at the top of the stairs. Tap to lift them, tap again to send them walking down — and watch a whole valley sort itself into colour. Valley Sort is a calm, beautiful sorting puzzle set among pastel towers, floating stones and long stairways. Gather every colour onto its own platform to finish the valley, then watch it crumble into the mist as the next one rises out of it. LEARNED IN TWO TAPS Travellers will only join a crowd of their own colour, or step onto an empty platform. That is the whole rule. Everything after it is you, looking at a beautiful little tangle and quietly working out the thread to pull first. A VALLEY THAT KEEPS SURPRISING YOU Just as you settle into a rhythm, the valley teaches you something new: - Veiled travellers who hide their colour until the crowd in front of them walks away - Caves that let crowds out one by one, and never let anyone back in - Frozen crowds that thaw only as you complete others - Wild travellers who belong to every colour at once - Burning lanterns counting down, worn stairs that crumble, carts that must move as one - Dyed stairs that recolour whoever crosses them - A harbour where completed crowds sail away and caravans bring new travellers to the gate IT NEVER RUNS OUT — AND IT IS NEVER UNFAIR Hand-built opening valleys give way to an endless supply of fresh ones, and every single puzzle is solved by the game before it ever reaches you. No impossible deals. No wasted evening. A JOURNEY WITH A SHAPE Climb through chapters of themed valleys, rise from Traveller to Valley Sage, fill your firefly jar, and meet a boss valley — the biggest of its chapter — at the end of each one. Your furthest valley goes to Game Center, if you want the company. MADE TO RELAX IN - Soft isometric architecture that dissolves into drifting mist - Skies that turn from dawn to lagoon to lilac to a starlit night - Gentle generative music and bell-like chimes that follow each level - Undo, hints, power-ups and a rewind for when you are truly stuck - Haptics on supported devices Take a breath, lift a crowd and guide the travellers home.
