Puzzl
Read full descriptionHide full description
Puzzl brings six different puzzle games together in one app. Each one takes a few minutes, and each one has its own leaderboard. Your score comes down to two things: how few attempts you needed, and how fast you were. THE GAMES • Number — Find the hidden 4-digit number in 6 guesses. After each guess you see which digits are in the right place and which are in the wrong one. • Word — Crack the hidden 5-letter word in 6 guesses. • Connections — Sort 16 words into 4 groups of four by what they have in common. You get 4 mistakes, and we'll tell you when you're one word away. • Anagram — Rearrange 5 scrambled letters into the right order. 3 attempts, plus 3 hints if you get stuck. • Tango — Fill a 6x6 grid with suns and moons without breaking the rules. There's no way to lose; only the hints you use cost you points. • Wheel — Spin the wheel, pick a consonant, and bank points for every time it appears. Vowels are bought out of your bank, not earned on the wheel. Bankrupt wipes the bank, so every extra spin is a bet. 3 solve attempts, 5 wrong letters. LEADERBOARDS Every game keeps a separate daily and monthly ranking. Days and months follow the UTC calendar, so everyone starts fresh at the same moment. Your username is unique and you can change it whenever you like — past scores show your new name too. TWO LANGUAGES Puzzl is fully playable in English and Turkish. The word and phrase pools are written separately for each language rather than translated, and your stats are kept per language. Wheel alone has over 200 phrases in each, from idioms and places to food and jobs. GETTING STARTED Sign in with Apple or Google, or skip it entirely and play as a guest. Guests appear on the leaderboard too, and if you link an account later your scores and username carry over unchanged. ALSO • Light, dark and automatic themes • Switch between English and Turkish in the app • A how-to-play guide for every game • Free, supported by ads

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Puzzl at none against gridlo's 5. Puzzl also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). gridlo's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
