About

Cantle

Read full description

Cantle is a daily logic puzzle with one rule: two shapes joined by a line can't be the same color. There are four colors. The squares come already colored, and you color the circles. Every board has exactly one solution, checked before it reaches you, so you never have to guess. A NEW BOARD EVERY DAY Everyone in the world plays the same board each day, and a new one arrives at midnight UTC. Solve it and see your place on the day's leaderboard. Solve every day to build a streak. Every seven solves earn a freeze that covers a day you miss, and you can hold two. TWO DAILY BOARDS The Standard board is free for everyone. Cantle Pro adds the Hard board, a tougher daily puzzle with its own streak and its own leaderboard. FRIENDS AND DUELS Add friends with a six-character friend code and compare results on a friends leaderboard. Challenge a friend to a duel: you both get the same board and 24 hours to play it. EVENTS On some days of the year the daily boards are pictures for a holiday, like Halloween. Playing them earns free looks, and they stay yours. ACHIEVEMENTS Fifty-five medals for streaks, flawless solves, fast times, top places, practice, duels and friends, from bronze to legend. PRACTICE Unlimited boards on four levels, Seed, Theorem, Proof and Axiom, with your best time kept for each. Practice never touches your streak. Proof and Axiom come with Pro. THE ARCHIVE With Pro, every board since day one is ready to play. Playing a past board never changes your streak. MAKE IT YOURS Choose board themes, symbol sets and wallpapers, and build your own avatar. The Paper wallpaper, the Wax theme and the Sigils symbols are free. Paper is light, and the game can follow your phone between light and dark. Every color can show a symbol, so the puzzle stays easy to play even if you find colors hard to tell apart. NO ACCOUNT, NO ADS No email and no password: Cantle creates an anonymous profile the first time you open it. There are no ads and no third-party analytics. I make Cantle on my own. CANTLE PRO Cantle Pro is an optional subscription, monthly or yearly. It adds the daily Hard board, the full archive, and the Proof and Axiom levels in practice and duels. Board themes, symbol sets and wallpapers can also be bought one by one. Terms of Use: https://cantle.app/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://cantle.app/privacy/
