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.

About

Loomora

Features
Read full description

Loomora is a nonogram — picross, griddler, hanjie — reimagined as cross stitch. The board is a piece of linen. The numbers along each row and column tell you how the stitches are grouped: "3 1" means three in a row, a gap, then one. Read the clues, work out where the thread goes, and a small hand-made scene appears under your needle: a heart, a cat, a mushroom, a cup of tea. NO GUESSING. EVER. Every pattern is generated from a seed and then handed to a solver, and it is only kept if the solver can reconstruct it by pure line logic. That means the solution is unique and reachable by deduction — never by a coin flip. If you are stuck, there is something left to work out. DELIBERATELY KIND • A wrong square costs a star. It never ends the game • Marking empty squares with an X is free and never penalised • Undo goes back as far as you like, and a hint fills in a real square • No lives, no energy, no countdown, nothing nagging you to come back THREE WAYS TO PLAY • Campaign — boards grow from 5x5 to 12x12 as you do, with pinch to zoom on the big ones • Daily Challenge — one pattern a day, the same one for every player in the world, with times to compare and a streak to keep • Collections — four themed chapters of hand-picked patterns, some of them in colour, with a reward for finishing a chapter THE ALBUM Finished embroideries go into an album; the ones you have not stitched yet wait as an empty hoop. Any piece can be shared as a framed poster. FOURTEEN QUIET ACHIEVEMENTS First stitch, collector, a week's streak, a month's streak, level 25. Soft goals, no pressure. MADE TO BE READABLE VoiceOver reads every square and every clue. Colour-blind assistance gives each thread its own shape as well as its own colour, so a colour pattern is never a guessing game about hue. FREE, AND HONEST ABOUT IT The whole game is free and complete. Coins are earned by playing and pay for hints; you can buy them in packs if you would rather not wait — each pack says exactly how many coins it gives — or watch an ad to earn a hint without spending any. There are no loot boxes, no random rewards and no subscription: the only other thing you can buy is the themes, all of them at once and for good, and a theme changes the linen, the thread and the accent colour, never the puzzle. A hint fills in a square you could have deduced yourself; no purchase skips the logic, or a board. Ads pay for the rest, and one purchase removes them for good. PLAYS OFFLINE Everything except the daily leaderboard works with no connection at all. There is no account, no sign-up and no name: your progress lives on your phone.
