Plain and Simple Games vs Ripple Path

Sudoku, solitaire, crosswords, chess and 40+ more on one quiet shelf. No ads, nothing to buy, no account needed. Minesweeper, nonograms and bridges never come down to a lucky guess. Every board is worked through before you get it, using only the moves a person actually makes, and any board that would need a coin flip is thrown away. If you're stuck, there is always a deduction to find. 40+ games, including Sudoku, Solitaire, Mahjong, Minesweeper, Crossword, Chess, Checkers and Spider. WHY THIS EXISTS No ads, no purchases, no subscription. No "watch a video for a hint", no account required, and nothing about you collected. No analytics, and no third-party code in it at all. Most free puzzle apps pay for themselves with ads and upsells. This one doesn't. Every game is the whole game, free, with nothing locked. SUDOKU Four difficulties, and the labels mean something: each puzzle is solved the way a person would, technique by technique, and labelled by the work that took. Pencil marks, unlimited undo, an optional timer, and a hint that explains the next step in plain English. DAILY PUZZLES A crossword a day with clues written by hand, Word Search with hand-written grids, and Five in Six: guess the five-letter word in six tries. Everyone gets the same word each day, worked out from the date on your own device, so it works with no signal. Tiles use colour and shape together, so the board reads if you can't tell green from yellow. CARDS AND TILES Klondike solitaire and Free Cell, with an honest "no moves left". Spider with one, two or four suits. Mahjong where every board can be cleared, and American Mahjong for four, with three players run by the device. Golf, Crazy Eights, and Cover Your Bacon, an original breakfast-diner card game against two to five computers. CHESS AND CHECKERS The real game, with every rule: castling, en passant, promotion, check, checkmate, stalemate and the drawn games. Play the device at one of four levels, share one device with a friend, or play on two devices. PLAY TOGETHER Play Cover Your Bacon, Crazy Eights or Low Twelve on up to four nearby iPhones or iPads: one person taps Host, and everyone else joins with the six-digit code, from the game or straight from the shelf. Four Up, Dots and Boxes and Chess also play on two devices in the same room. The devices talk directly to each other; no account, no server, nothing goes to the internet. Needs iOS 26 or later. AND MORE Loop and Cross Sums, each board proved to have exactly one answer. Bridges, nonograms, five dice, colour sort, a car park a day, connect, 2048, block fit and Stack. Paddle, Star Guard and Noodle for a bit of speed; their short sounds stay quiet when your phone is on Silent, and one switch in Settings turns them off. YOUR SHELF Hide any game you don't play; stats stay. A scorecard sits behind every game: streaks, best and average times, and a calendar of the days you played. Games resume right where you left off, and you can play with a keyboard on iPad. ON YOUR DEVICES Your stats and half-finished games follow you to your iPad through your own iCloud. They don't pass through a Plain and Simple server, because there isn't one. Sign in with Apple is optional, and asks Apple for no name and no email. PLAIN AND SIMPLE Small apps that do one thing, and don't ask for anything. help@plainandsimple.app
