``` Brain Bites is a collection of original daily logic puzzles — no ads, no noise, just a clean daily challenge for your brain. THREE GAMES, THREE WAYS TO THINK Path — Draw a single continuous line connecting numbered dots in order, filling every cell on the board. Simple to learn, surprisingly deep to master. Balance — A binary logic puzzle. Fill the grid with two symbols so every row and column stays balanced, with no three in a row. Pure deduction, no guessing. Knights — Place one piece in every row, column, and colored region, with none touching. Inspired by classic chess logic puzzles, reimagined with colorful regions and satisfying "aha" moments. DAILY PUZZLE + STREAK Every day brings one new puzzle per game. Solve it, keep your streak alive, and see how your time compares. PRACTICE MODE Want more than one puzzle a day?
