Place the given chess pieces so every row and column holds exactly one piece — and no piece threatens another. That's Chessdoku: the discipline of Sudoku, the geometry of chess. NO GUESSING, EVER Every puzzle is generated by a built-in deduction engine and verified solvable by pure logic. Stuck? The hint doesn't just drop a piece — it explains the deduction you could have made. FIVE WAYS TO PLAY - Classic — open square boards, from a gentle 4×4 to the deep end - Panorama — wide boards that bend your instincts - Fortress — frozen pawn walls cut the lines, so extra pieces fit - Command — you place the pawns, and your pieces need them - Torus — borderless boards where attacks wrap around the edges 300 levels in each mode — 1,500 puzzles in all. EVERY DAY, ONE PUZZLE A daily challenge seeded from the date, identical for every player on Earth. Keep your streak alive and share your result, spoiler-free. THINK WITH YOUR HANDS Cross off dead squares with the X tool, pencil-mark individual piece options Sudoku-style, long-press any piece to see exactly what it attacks, and let the app prove it the moment a position becomes unwinnable. FREE TO PLAY The daily challenge, the tutorial, and a generous run of free levels — including the first 100 in Classic — are free to everyone. One optional purchase unlocks all 1,500 levels and every Quick Play preset — no subscription, ever. YOURS, OFFLINE No account. No ads. No tracking. Puzzles are generated on your device and your progress never leaves it. Seventeen handcrafted board themes, including a colorblind-friendly high-contrast set.

Every seam agrees. Tilewright is a calm, cozy tile puzzle. Rebuild beautiful hand-drawn boards — winding rivers, blooming meadows, old railways, buzzing circuit boards — one tile at a time. Two tiles may sit side by side only when their touching edges match: that single rule is the whole game. NINE WORLDS TO RESTORE From the gentle Zen Garden to the dense traces of Circuit City — 216 levels across nine hand-drawn worlds, each with its own art and mood. FIVE WAYS TO PLAY • Restore — place every tile so all seams agree • Pathways — fill the board and connect the banners by road • Untangle — rotate tiles until the picture flows • Masterpiece Dominoes — rebuild famous paintings pair by pair • Warden — mend the fences and keep every creature safely enclosed A DAILY RITUAL One shared puzzle for every player, every day, with streaks to keep. Come back tomorrow. MADE TO RELAX No ads, no accounts, no pressure. A kids-friendly Sprout tier keeps little puzzlers happy, and reduced-motion settings are respected throughout. Works completely offline; optional anonymous backup keeps your stars safe. Every puzzle is generated from a fully solved board, so a solution always exists. If you enjoy sudoku, you'll feel at home: every placement is a deduction, and the board always has an answer.
