PigPen
Read full descriptionHide full description
Fence the pigs. Fill the field. One puzzle a day. PigPen is a daily logic puzzle for the one-finger, coffee-break crowd — players who love Wordle, Connections, and Strands and are ready for something with a little more bite. The board is a grid of farmland with pigs scattered across it. Your job is simple to learn and surprisingly deep to master: drag fences along the grid lines to enclose every pig in its own pen, where each pen is rotationally symmetric around its pig and the whole field is partitioned with no leftover squares. Three rules. No timers in your face. No fluff. Just a clean, satisfying daily solve. FEATURES • A new puzzle every day — three sizes (5×5, 7×7, 10×10), each with Standard and Hard tiers, so you can pick a quick warm-up or settle in for a Sunday-cryptic-sized challenge. • Globally-keyed daily puzzles so leaderboards stay fair — everyone's puzzle of the day is the same puzzle. • One-finger play — tap a fence to toggle it, drag along an axis to paint a run of fences, long-press to mark a cell. • Live symmetry hints (optional) — your moves' rotational counterparts highlight faintly so you can feel the shape of each pen. • Unlimited undo and redo — experiment freely without losing your place. • Mistake checker and one daily hint per puzzle when you're truly stuck. • Clean-solve badges for finishing without hints or mistakes. • Stats and streaks that track your daily habit, not your wallet. • Gorgeous, warm visual design — pigs you'll actually want to fence in. WHO IT'S FOR If you start your morning with a daily word game and finish it before your coffee's cold, PigPen is the next logic puzzle for your routine. It's deductive (no guessing, no trial-and-error), uniquely solvable, and hand-tuned for satisfying "aha" moments rather than tedious bookkeeping. INSPIRED BY THE CLASSICS PigPen is a love letter to Galaxies (Tentai Show) by Nikoli — one of the most elegant pen-and-paper puzzle formats ever invented — reimagined with a warmer hook, modern progression, and the daily cadence that makes a puzzle a habit. Get one puzzle a day. Build a streak. Become the kind of person who fences pigs.
