Got a minute? Play a Minúte! Minútes is a collection of six original puzzle games with a fresh batch of levels every single day. A great companion for your coffee break at work or a more soothing replacement of your nighttime scrolling. Wordmanteau — A word game built on portmanteaus - word mashups - like "smoke" + "fog" = "smog." Read the clue, work out the two hidden words, and spell the mashup. Crossnections — Part crossword, part deduction. Solve the clued vertical words like a normal crossword and uncover the single horizontal "crossnection" — the word that secretly ties every answer together. Triplets — Fill a shape with colored triangles so every edge lines up. Match the colors to the edge types and rotate pieces to fit. Hex — Rotate hexagons until every edge agrees. Some edges must match, some must add up to a target sum, some must come out higher or lower. Colorsweeper — a popular number game's logic, in color. Each number tells you how many different colors surround a cell. Reason it out and paint the grid. Ukodus — Sudoku, reimagined with tiles. Drag tiles onto the grid until every row, column, and box holds 1 to 9. A fresh batch every day — New free levels land across four games daily! Get Packs — Get handcrafted level packs of our premium games or more levels of our daily games and support an indie game designer! The first 5 levels of all packs are free for everyone!
