Stitches is a sew-the-grid logic puzzle. Bold borders cut the board into regions, and your job is to join every pair of neighbouring regions with exactly one stitch. Each stitch places a hole in the cell on each side, no cell may hold more than one hole, and the numbers along the top and left tell you how many holes belong in each column and row. Unlike random puzzle generators, every board in Stitches comes from a hand-drawn quilt block and solves into a clear, symmetric motif. Many boards are classic grids; others take silhouette shapes — hearts, crowns, trees, rockets, castles, and more — so each new puzzle feels distinct from the last. How to play Study the region borders and the row/column counts Place stitches so every neighbouring region pair is joined exactly once Respect the hole limits: one hole per cell, and the edge numbers must match Use logic, not guesswork — every puzzle has exactly one solution Features Fresh logic puzzles built from curated quilt-block designs Silhouette boards that turn solutions into recognisable shapes Multiple board sizes and difficulty levels A daily challenge to keep your streak going Local progress: solved counts, best times, and an in-progress board if you leave mid-play Hints when you’re stuck, and an optional solution reveal Light and dark themes, sound, haptics, and language options Fully offline gameplay — puzzles are generated on your device Stitches is free to play and supported by ads. Watching an ad for a hint or solution is always your choice. Puzzle progress, settings, and daily-challenge records stay on your device. Route the regions. Complete the stitch. Watch the motif appear.
THE MOLE MATCH
Read full descriptionHide full description
A fresh casual game that reinvents whack-a-mole! Find matching moles among the ones popping out of the holes, and tap them one after another. You'll need quick reflexes to spot matches on a board that keeps changing, plus the memory to track your target after tapping the first one. Since the hole layout changes every time, even the same stage feels fresh with every attempt. [Game Features] - 30 stages in total (Free area Lv.1-5, Paid area Lv.6-20, Cloud stages Lv.21-30) - 25 uniquely designed mole characters - The further you progress, the more moles you need to match at once and the more types keep switching, gradually raising the challenge - Simple tap controls anyone can enjoy - Available in Japanese and English [How to Play] Tap the same type of mole twice in a row to make a match! Clear a stage by matching every mole type before time runs out. Tapping the wrong mole triggers a penalty — the board may freeze, or your current target may reset. Play carefully, but stay quick. A troublemaking mole called the Ghost also shows up on the board from time to time. Tap it by mistake and it will undo the match you just made — be careful! On the other hand, tapping the Miracle Mole "Mogld" instantly completes your current or upcoming target, making it a powerful ally. When time is almost up, the moles speed up and the stage enters Time Attack mode, keeping the tension high right to the very end. [Collect Moles in the Mole Encyclopedia] Every mole you meet while playing is automatically recorded in the Mole Encyclopedia. Even the free area has 6 types to discover, and all 25 types are waiting to be unlocked. Chase after the moles you haven't seen yet and push on to the next stage. [Safe for the Whole Family] No ads, no data collection — just simple, focused gameplay. Rated 4+, so it's safe and enjoyable for kids, adults, and everyone in between.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Stitches at none against THE MOLE MATCH's 5. Stitches also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks). THE MOLE MATCH's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.5). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
