Thread is your daily word break. Every puzzle hides five answers you build from the same tray of letters. Find them, reveal their clues, then figure out the final word that links them all together. A FRESH CHALLENGE EVERY DAY A new puzzle drops each day. Study the letters, try different combinations, and let the clues guide you toward that final moment when everything clicks. FIVE WORDS, ONE LINK The five answers can look unrelated, but a single word ties them together. Can you spot it before you run out of tries? A HANDS-ON WAY TO PLAY No keyboard here. Build each answer straight from the letter tray, with clear feedback showing which letters are in the right spot, in the wrong spot, or not needed at all. PLAY AT YOUR OWN PACE Track your streak and stats, replay past puzzles in the archive, and unlock themes to personalize the experience. Add the widget to keep Thread always at hand. SHARE WITHOUT SPOILERS Send your result to friends without giving away the day's answers.

Logic puzzles, nothing else. No ads, no account: just you and the puzzle. A NEW PUZZLE EVERY DAY • Every type has an easy, a medium and a hard puzzle each day, the same for everyone in the world, and always free. • A new set arrives at the same moment for everyone. Keep your streak and see how you did on Game Center's daily leaderboards. • Game Center also keeps your best streak, your puzzles solved and your points (this week, the last 4 weeks and all time), all in the app's Ranking, plus achievements to earn. ELEVEN KINDS OF PUZZLE • Sudoku: digits 1 to 9, once in every row, column and box. Every puzzle has one solution and never needs a guess. • Tessera: fill the board with the pieces that are left. Turn them, flip them: there is only one way they all fit. • Shunt: slide the blocks aside and get the key out. Every puzzle shows the fewest moves it can be done in. • Nest: fill the board with pieces that each carry an egg; every egg must sit on a nest. • Hop: jump over stones, logs and each other into the burrows, in as few moves as you can. • Thread: join every pair of same-coloured dots with a line. Lines never cross, and together they fill the board. • Crown: one crown in every row, every column and every coloured region, and no two touching, not even at a corner. • Span: join the islands with bridges; each island takes as many as its number, and in the end they are all connected. • Beam: turn the mirrors so the light passes every target and leaves by the exit. • Pixel: paint the squares the numbers beside each row and column call for, and a picture appears. • Manor: a house seen from above, its rooms and furniture, and a few guests. Follow the clues to put each one in their place, one per row and column, then say who ate the cake. More types will join them. SEASONS Every season brings puzzles redesigned for the occasion, a free one every day, exclusive cards for your player profile, titles, medals and its own leaderboard. The first, Halloween, is free for everyone, for good; now Christmas (1 Dec–6 Jan). MADE TO BE PLAYED CALMLY • Sudoku the comfortable way: tap a cell and the keypad dims the digits that can't go there; or pick a digit first and see at once where it still fits. • Notes that clear themselves, undo, and hints that teach: first the idea and where to look, then the answer, only if you ask. • Every type is explained in a few pages with moving pictures, which open by themselves the first time you play it. ENDLESS COLLECTIONS • Beyond the daily ones, each type has its own numbered collection in three levels, with puzzles that keep coming. • The first 25 of each level are free in every type. YOURS • Statistics from the big picture down: your streak, puzzles solved, time played and a calendar; then each type and each level, where you are getting faster and what costs you most. • Light or dark, and colour themes that change the board and the app icon too. • Your progress follows you on iPhone and iPad through your own iCloud. • Plays offline. UNLOCK, ONCE AND FOR GOOD The daily puzzles and the first puzzles of every collection are free, for good. To play every puzzle of a type, unlock that type with a single purchase. Or unlock everything at once: every puzzle type in Logicle, the ones added later included, with nothing more to pay. Shared with your family through Family Sharing. Either unlock also opens the colour themes. Seasons: each one's pass opens it for good; the Seasons subscription (monthly or yearly, renews automatically, cancel any time in your Apple Account settings) opens them all while it lasts. Terms of Use: https://seizeapps.com/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://seizeapps.com/privacy.html#logicle Logicle is made by Seize. Privacy: no ads, no tracking. Logicle counts which puzzles are played, without knowing who you are; you can turn it off in Settings. Your games stay on your devices and in your iCloud.

Verdict

The call

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