SOLVD is a daily math puzzle in the spirit of Wordle. Three new puzzles every day — one Easy, one Medium, one Hard — generated deterministically from the date, so every player worldwide solves the same puzzles you do. Each puzzle is a small grid of connected arithmetic equations with some cells left blank. Your job: fill them in so every equation in the grid checks out. WHAT YOU GET • Three fresh puzzles every day, across three difficulties • A streak that grows each consecutive day you solve at least one puzzle • A streak shield, earned by clearing all three in a single day, that protects against one missed day • Badges for milestones across speed, accuracy, and consistency • Four color themes, including a high-contrast mode • Practice mode — unlimited extra puzzles when one a day isn't enough • Replay mode — re-do today's puzzles with a fresh timer NO ACCOUNTS, NO ADS, NO TRACKING Everything stays on your device. There's no sign-in, no telemetry, no in-app purchases. Open the app, solve the puzzle, close it. HOW IT WORKS Tap a blank cell, type the missing number on the on-screen keypad, hit OK. The grid checks each equation as you complete it. Wrong answer? The cell turns red — try again. Correct? The cell glows green and locks in. Solve every blank to win. A SOLVD daily takes a few minutes for Easy, longer for Hard. Build a streak. Earn the shield. Come back tomorrow.

Tallo

Tallo is a one-tap stacking game that takes seconds to learn and a lifetime to master. A block swings above your tower — tap at the right moment to drop it. Land it perfectly and your combo grows. Miss, and the overhang gets sliced off, leaving you a smaller block to work with. How high can you build? PERFECT DROPS, BIG COMBOS Every precise drop stacks up a combo. Chain them together and your block grows back to full size — the tower gets taller, the score climbs faster, and the coins roll in. Watch for golden blocks: land one cleanly and that drop scores ×2. TWO WAYS TO PLAY • Classic — no clock, three lives, pure precision. Build the tallest tower you can. • Time Attack — 60 seconds on the clock. Stack fast, stack clean, beat your best. Choose Easy, Medium or Hard to match your reflexes. 8 WORLDS Gold, Ocean and Neon, plus five living worlds with their own blocks, sky and landscape: glowing pumpkins under a haunted moon in Halloween, maple leaves in Golden Autumn, snow and icicles in Winter, molten rock in Lava and grassy blocks in Forest. Unlock them with the coins you earn by playing. CLIMB THE LEADERBOARD Compete with friends and players around the world through Game Center. Weekly and all-time rankings show exactly where you stand. REWARDS EVERY DAY Come back daily to claim coin rewards — reach day 7 and unlock a world. Complete 3 fresh Daily Quests every day and open a bonus chest when you finish them all. Climb the ranks from Bronze to Master and earn achievements like Architect’s Eye for 10 perfect drops in a row. MADE TO FEEL GOOD • Crisp 3D blocks with satisfying haptics and sound • Original soundtrack that plays gently alongside your own music • Works offline — play on the plane, the train, or anywhere • Looks great on iPhone and iPad • Available in 11 languages Tallo (formerly Box Stacker) is built by an independent developer, and every update comes straight from player feedback. Download Tallo and see how tall you can build. TALLO PREMIUM Tallo is free to play with ads.
