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!

Caramel Crushers

Match. Strategize. Enjoy. Caramel Crushers is a sweet, brain-teasing match-3 puzzle for players who like to think a move ahead. Swap and combine caramels to clear each board — but the obvious match is rarely the best one. Set up chains, trigger cascades, and watch a single well-placed move do the work of five. WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT - No forced ads. Nothing plays between levels. Nothing interrupts a board. Videos are entirely optional — you watch one only when you choose to, in exchange for a reward. - Skill over luck. Read the board, spot the setup, earn the win. - Boosters for when a board fights back — lollipop hammer, bomb, color switch and color bomb. - Your progress travels with you. Sign in and your levels and coins stay safe, even on a new phone. - Play at your own pace. One level on a commute, or a long evening session. - Simple to learn, hard to master. No walls of tutorial text. HOW IT PLAYS Swap two neighboring caramels to line up three or more. Match four or five to create special pieces, then combine those for board-clearing chain reactions. Each level sets its own goal within a limited number of moves. Running low on moves? Use a booster, take a fresh look, or come back to it later with clear eyes. STUCK? YOUR CALL Out of lives, short on coins, or facing a locked level? Spend the coins you have earned — or watch a short optional video instead, for a booster, a life refill, an extra spin of the wheel, or to unlock the levels ahead. Both routes are always open. Neither is ever forced on you. FREE TO PLAY, FAIR TO PLAY Caramel Crushers is free to download and free to play. Optional in-app purchases are available for coins, which you can spend on extra lives, boosters and extra moves — but they stay optional. Made by Staraman Games Studios. Thanks for playing.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Minútes at none against Caramel Crushers's shown. Caramel Crushers's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
