Every AnchorMind Rewind puzzle is a finished painting — made by colouring whole rows and columns, one stroke at a time, where each new stroke covers the ones before it. Your job is to rewind it. Tap the strokes back in the exact order they were painted. There is always one provable answer — pure deduction, no guessing, no luck. Just one quiet minute for your mind. No timers. No pressure. The daily puzzle is free, offline, and ad-free. THREE WAYS TO PLAY • Daily — one shared puzzle for everyone, every day. Solve day after day to grow your streak. • Endless — it never stops getting cleverer: more strokes, bigger grids, and hidden cells you must reason underneath. • Gauntlet — a weekly climb. Every clean solve banks a shield; a single wrong tap spends a shield instead of ending your run. Climb higher than everyone to be crowned that week's Champion — bragging rights included. Everyone starts fresh each Monday. A RHYTHM TO THE WEEK • Mono Monday — colours gone, symbols only. Trickier than it looks. • Foggy Friday — a few cells are hidden in the fog. Can you rewind what you can't see? • Challenge Sunday — the toughest board of the week. • And seasonal surprises along the way — Ghost Day at Halloween, plus New Year, Valentine's, St. Patrick's, Lunar New Year, Earth Day, and more. EARN YOUR PLACE • Earn 1–3 stars on every solve — solve in par (the fewest possible placements) to earn the full three. • Climb a global leaderboard by total stars or best level. • Win the week to top the Champions board — then share your victory card and claim the bragging rights. No account needed; add an optional name to show up by name. LITTLE TOUCHES • Replay the solution to see how it unravels. • Share your daily solve or Gauntlet run with a tap — one clean card, just your result. • Light or dark. Sound on or off. • Play in English, Simplified Chinese, or Traditional Chinese. A calmer kind of puzzle. Rewind one today.

About

Orbit Grid

Features
Read full description

Lost in deep space without friction or tether — can you calculate the trajectory back to safety? Orbit Grid is a tactical zero-gravity sliding puzzle game where every directional swipe sends your astronaut gliding continuously across the cosmos until an obstacle, another crew member, or a designated docking pod halts their drift. Beware: with no boundary walls, a single miscalculated thrust can send your crew drifting into the deep void! KEY FEATURES: • ZERO-GRAVITY TRAJECTORY ENGINE: Master momentum and inertia. Slide up, down, left, and right, calculating stop points and coordinating precise paths across dense orbital grids. • TWO-ASTRONAUT TACTICS:: Coordinate multiple astronauts (Orion & Nova). Maneuver one crew member to act as a dynamic stopping block for the other to reach previously unreachable docking coordinates. • PROGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN: Advance through diverse orbital sectors ranging from compact 5x5 tactical drills up to massive, brain-bending 9x9 void labyrinths. • PRECISION & O₂ CONSTRAINTS: Plan ahead to beat the PAR move count and conserve critical oxygen supplies. Earn stars by executing flawless, optimal routes. • MINIMALIST SCI-FI AESTHETIC: Immerse yourself in clean vector visuals, atmospheric space ambient soundscapes, and intuitive tactile swipe controls. No clocks, no timers — pure tactical logic. Chart your course and bring your crew home.
