Read full descriptionHide full description
Every tile looks familiar. Only the right order makes a CAT. CAT Pattern Hunt is a focused letter-grid puzzle built entirely from three letters: C, A, and T. Find hidden C ā A ā T sequences by swiping across the grid horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. The board looks simple, but every tile can seem like part of the answer. Read the direction carefully, find every CAT, and finish with fewer mistakes and a faster time. CHOOSE HOW TO PLAY ⢠Classic ā find every CAT at your own pace. ⢠Time Race ā beat the countdown; each CAT adds more time. ⢠Zen ā play without a timer, score, or leaderboard. ⢠Memory Training ā memorize the grid, then reveal individual tiles for five seconds. ⢠Daily Challenge ā complete three levels and compare your result for the day. BUILD YOUR PROGRESS ⢠Adjust the board size and number of hidden CATs. ⢠Keep a daily streak and earn Paw Points as you play. ⢠Spend Paw Points on hints, time boosts, memory peeks, and streak protection. ⢠Submit scores to optional leaderboards. ⢠Play quick rounds in portrait or landscape. Simple rules, many possible paths, fresh standard rounds, and a new daily challenge each day. How quickly can you find every CAT?
Rune

Rune is a fast, beautiful arcade of color and shape. Runes fall toward your base. Read each one and tap its matching code on the pad to destroy it before it lands. Clear waves, build combos, and defend the base. No words, no reading, no luck. The pad is a small deducible keypad, so every run rewards focus and skill, not chance. Four ways to play: - Hue: match by color - Form: match by shape - Compose: match color and shape together - Daily: one shared run each day that feeds your streak and the boards Three living themes: Jewel, Pastel, and Ink. Collect ancient runes in the Codex and unlock trails, base skins, and pad rims. Keep a daily streak, open a daily chest, and climb the leaderboards. Designed for calm focus and quick sessions. One hand, all ages.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Rune at none against CAT Pattern Hunt's shown. Rune also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months). CAT Pattern Hunt's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
