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.
