Two symbols. One simple rule. A puzzle you can never run out of. Evenly is a binary logic puzzle: fill a 6x6 grid with flames and ice cubes so every row and column is evenly split, with no three of a kind in a line. Every board is generated to have exactly one solution you can reach by logic alone, so there is never any guessing, just the quiet satisfaction of working it out. Play as much as you like, or take on the Daily, the same puzzle everyone in the world gets that day, and see where you land on the leaderboard. 【Why You'll Love It】 • Unlimited puzzles – never run out, no daily cap • The Daily – one shared board every day, build your streak and climb the global ranks • Hints that teach – each hint shows the next certain cell and the rule that proves it • Three difficulties – easy, medium and hard, all solvable by pure logic • Mistake check – see errors the moment they happen, or switch it off for a purist run • 33 achievements – tiered badges across eight families, with progress rings • Five symbol sets – fire & water, circle & square, up & down, stones, leaf & bloom • Zen mode – hide the timer and just think • Archive – replay any past Daily whenever you like • Fully offline – play on the plane, the train, anywhere • Made for iPhone Duo – a bigger board when you unfold, the full game on the outer screen 【How to Play】 Each row and column holds 3 flames and 3 ice cubes. Three of the same can never touch in a line. The small markers between cells are your clues: a bridge means the two cells match, a stop sign means they differ. Tap for a flame, tap again for an ice cube, or long-press to place an ice cube straight away. No subscriptions and no puzzle packs to buy. Every board is free to play; one optional purchase removes ads and unlocks unlimited hints. Two minutes or twenty, Evenly is a calm, satisfying workout for your brain. Download now and start your streak today. 【Contact】 Questions or feedback? Email wuyuping38@gmail.com 【Terms of Use (EULA)】 https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Wend at none against Evenly's 1. Wend also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 73%) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 days). Evenly's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (84 vs 5). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Evenly holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Evenly has 84 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Wend's written reviews are positive against 73% of Evenly's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Wend ships an update every 2 days, Evenly every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
