Category Jam is a satisfying organization puzzle where you group items into their correct categories! Tap item cards and category folders to move them into the available slots. As matching items and folders come together, the items are automatically organized into their proper categories. Complete a category folder to clear it and free up space for new moves. Be careful though—slot space is limited, and poor planning can leave you with nowhere to place new cards! Think ahead, organize efficiently, and sort every item into the right category to complete the level. Can you keep everything organized and master every category? Enjoy.

Classic Light Up logic puzzle: light up every white cell, place bulbs to match the numbers, and never let bulbs shine on each other. A game of pure logic — no luck, no hidden information. When you're stuck, the answer isn't a guess; it's the move you haven't seen yet. How to Play • Place a bulb — light spreads through its entire row and column. • Black cells block the light. • The number on a black cell tells you exactly how many bulbs must sit next to it. • No two bulbs may ever shine on each other. • Light up every white cell to win. Key Features • Hundreds of handcrafted puzzles, from gentle warm-ups to expert grids • A logic-first hint system: understand the ""why"", not just the ""where"" • A clean, minimalist board built for deep focus • Play at your own pace: offline, no timers, no pressure — just enjoy the puzzle Numbers never lie. A 3 wants exactly three bulbs beside it; a 0 wants none. When the last dark cell lights up, it's because you reasoned your way there. No countdown rushes your next move. Brew a coffee, pick a quiet evening, and let the board shut out the noise of the world — every cell you light brings a moment of calm. Download now and light up your first board.
