About

Stack Borough

Features
Read full description

Swap tiles on the board to line up three or more matching materials and gather what a building needs. Bricks, wood, glass, steel, paint and tools each count toward a building recipe, so plan which clusters to clear first. Line up four to make a beam that clears a whole row and column, or five for a wrecking ball that blasts the area around it. When the board gets stuck, spend a few coins on a hammer, some dynamite, or a full board shuffle. Each plot is a match-3 level with its own recipe and a move limit. Buy the empty plot with coins, meet the recipe in time, and the building rises on the spot. Finished buildings earn passive coins minute after minute, which you collect and pour back into new plots and upgrades. Upgrading a building raises its income, so a busy borough keeps paying while you play. Work through districts that each have their own look, from a warm Old Town to Market Row and the Harborside. Grids grow larger as you progress and some cells are blocked off, which changes how tiles fall and where matches form. Stars reward clean boards with moves to spare.

About

HighRaws

Features
Read full description

HighRaws is a semantic word puzzle game where seven clue words orbit one hidden answer. Your task is to choose the center word that connects all clues through meaning, not spelling, letters, or anagrams. Each puzzle uses different types of relationships, including antonyms, compounds, idioms, near synonyms, domain associations, common phrases, and collocations. Wrong guesses dim the selected answer, while correct answers reveal the full semantic map with colored links and short explanations. Play curated puzzles across easy, medium, and hard difficulty levels, try the Daily Orbit, search the puzzle library, and review solved connections after each round. The app also tracks progress, accuracy, streaks, best score, and missed relationship types. You can create your own orbits by adding a center word, seven clue words, relationship types, candidate answers, and explanations. Saved custom puzzles can be edited or deleted at any time.
