A pure logic game. No ads, no subscription, no connection. Just grids that yield to reasoning. Tektologic is Suguru — also known as Tectonic. ■ THE RULE The grid is cut into irregular blocks of 1 to 5 cells. A block of N cells holds the digits 1 to N, once each. Two neighbouring cells never carry the same digit — and neighbours include diagonals. That's all. There is no row or column constraint: two 1s can share a row, as long as they don't touch. That is what sets Tektologic apart from sudoku. Every grid has one unique solution, reachable by deduction. Never by guessing. ■ WHAT YOU GET → 350 grids across 7 tiers, from Discovery to Legend → An interactive tutorial that teaches the rule by playing → Hints that explain the deduction instead of handing you the answer → Pencil notes, undo, error detection → 9 themes, 6 fonts including OpenDyslexic and Andika → Stats, streaks and Game Center leaderboards ■ BUILT TO BE READ Six fonts to choose from, two designed for dyslexia. Nine themes in light and dark. A colour-blind mode. Everything adjusts. ■ OFFLINE, FOREVER No connection required. No account. No data collected. The first 100 grids are free; a single purchase unlocks the other 250, for life. iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Make a little room for calm. TidyPath is a gentle spatial puzzle about giving small things a place to belong. Move each object to its own quiet home, one square at a time, through thirty rooms that grow steadily harder. WHAT IS INSIDE • Thirty rooms across six chapters — a desk, a music room, a greenhouse, a workbench, a tea room, a star chart. Every room is furnished with its own objects. • A difficulty curve you can trust. Each room's par is the true shortest solution, worked out move by move, and every room is exactly one move harder than the one before. • Three stars mean you found the shortest path unaided. Hints are there whenever you want them, and asking costs only the third star. • Hints come in two steps: the first points out which object moves next, the second shows which way. Stop after the first if a nudge is all you need. • A Design Studio of eight short exercises for the eye — palette, hierarchy, negative space, balance, slide layout, painting composition, putting an outfit together, and reading a photograph. • Undo is always free. Leave a puzzle half-finished and come back to exactly where you were. MADE TO BE COMFORTABLE • Text scales with your system size, throughout. • VoiceOver reads the board as a grid and can move a piece without a drag. • Reduce Motion is honoured. • Every text colour meets WCAG AA contrast, and objects are told apart by shape as well as by colour. QUIET BY DESIGN No timers. No streaks. No ads. No account. TidyPath works offline and your progress stays on your device.
