Stitches vs Palmo

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.

Palmo is a puzzle about regions. The board holds numbered squares; each one starts a patch, and its number is how many cells that patch takes: a 4 takes four cells, a 9 takes nine. Close the whole board and the level is done. ONE RULE Touch a numbered square, then take neighboring cells one at a time. The counter on the square drops with every cell. At zero the patch settles and seals itself. There is no fifth cell for a 4; the board will not let you take it. Cells are neighbors edge to edge, never corner to corner. THREE EXTRA STROKES A settled region can be unpicked: hold your finger on it until it comes apart, then draw it again. Each unpicking burns one of your three extra strokes. Whatever is left when the board closes turns into stars, so three stars mean every region was right the first time. WALLS AND STONES A wall cuts between two cells and no region crosses it. A stone is never taken: it stays outside the weave and the cells around it have to manage without it. The board teaches both by itself, in the level where they start to matter. ONE SOLUTION Every board in Palmo has exactly one correct weave. A solver went through all 516 levels and found no second answer. That is the point: a board with two answers says think and means guess. NO WORDS ON THE BOARD The playing screen carries no text. The lesson is in how the board is built: a new idea arrives in the level that will not come out without it. If you stop, Palmo points at a cell instead of explaining it, and the pointer comes from the solver, not from a hunch.
