Crossdigit is a math crossword-like puzzle game. Every clue is an equation; every answer is a number. ------------------------------------------ HOW TO PLAY Each numbered entry is a small math problem - 12 + 7, 84 ÷ 6, x² + 5 = 30 - and the answer are the digits you write into that row or column. Crossing entries share a digit, so a confident answer unlocks more clues. ------------------------------------------ FOUR DIFFICULTIES • Easy - addition and subtraction. • Medium - adds multiplication. • Hard - adds division. • Extreme - algebra: linear, quadratic, and mixed equations to solve for x. The grid size and answer-digit range are sliders you control. Start with a 6×6 grid of two-digit answers; ramp up to a 13×13 grid of five-digit algebra. The puzzle generator makes a unique puzzle every time. ------------------------------------------ DESIGNED FOR EVERYDAY LIFE • Plays fully offline once installed. • Pause anywhere - the timer freezes when you switch apps and your puzzle resumes exactly where you left it, even after a force-quit. • Light and dark themes that follow your system. • No accounts required. A device-private ID lets you sync your stats and earn a leaderboard rank without giving up an email. ------------------------------------------ LEADERBOARD AND DISPLAY NAMES Finish a puzzle and your time and score are weighed by difficulty and grid size. Faster solves of harder puzzles outrank slower solves of easy ones. Claim a globally-unique display name (changeable every two weeks) to stake your claim on the global board, or stay anonymous - your choice. A linking code lets you bring a second device into the same account without an email or password. Generate a code on one phone, redeem it on the other, and your stats merge. ------------------------------------------ WHY MATH CROSSWORDS? Crossdigit puzzles teach you to commit and verify - write a confident guess, see what you get correct and adjust. Work your brain out with some mental math. ------------------------------------------ PRIVACY Crossdigit requires zero login. Anonymous gameplay uses a device-private random ID; the optional display name is the only thing other players ever see.. ------------------------------------------ Get it and get solving today!

A new logic puzzle every day on a hexagonal grid. Fit every tile so every line — sum, product, parity, range — tells the truth. A five-minute daily ritual that scales to expert-level satisfaction. Hexponents is a deduction puzzle. Each line of the hex board carries a constraint: the sum equals 14, every tile must be even, no negatives, the product is exactly –24. You're given a bag of numbered tiles. Place every tile so every constraint holds. There's exactly one solution. No guessing — just careful reasoning. WHAT'S IN THE GAME — Four difficulty tiers, from a five-minute Easy warm-up to Expert puzzles built for solvers who finish the hardest crosswords in under ten. — A new puzzle in every difficulty, every day, at midnight Eastern. — Ten constraint types: sums, products, ≥, ≤, all-even, all-odd, no-negatives, all-negatives, n-negatives, and contains-set. Cells can also carry restrictions (even-only, prime-only, positive-only) and tile modifiers (multiply by 3, add 5). — Three free hints to start. If you get stuck, Reveal places one correct tile. More hints available as a 25-pack for $0.99. — A daily leaderboard with a Friends filter. Beat your friends, not strangers. — 50 badges to chase, from speed badges (sub-30s Easy, sub-10min Expert) to the All-Rounder (every difficulty in a single day) and The Completionist (every puzzle since launch). — Built-in tutorial that teaches every mechanic without lecturing. PREMIUM Hexponents is free to play. One daily puzzle in every difficulty is available to everyone, forever. Premium unlocks: — The full archive — every daily puzzle since launch, replayable any time. — Offline downloader — pull a week's worth of puzzles for the train. — Custom puzzle designer — build your own hex puzzles and publish them for the community to play and rate. Premium is $1.99/month or $19.99/year. Subscription auto-renews unless cancelled in App Store settings at least 24 hours before the period ends. CUSTOM MAPS Premium designers can build custom puzzles in the in-app designer. Every published puzzle is solver-verified before it ships — if it's broken, it can't be published. Share via a link that opens directly in the app for everyone, even non-premium players. Browse the community feed, upvote your favorites, and follow the designers who build the puzzles you love. BUILT FOR DAILY PLAY — Streak counter rewards consecutive days played, not just solved. — Optional push notification at midnight when a new puzzle is live. — Sync across web (hexponents.com) and iOS through your account. — Sign in with Apple, Google, or email. — No ads. No tracking. No data collection beyond what's needed to run the game. Hexponents is built for puzzlers who want a real challenge in five minutes a day, not another time-killer.
