About

Stitches

Features
Read full description

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.

Dockit Puzzle

Pieces enter from any of the four sides. They slide, and they dock in the last empty cell before whatever is already there. You choose the line. The board chooses the cell. Three in a row clears — but only when every attribute is all-same or all-different, judged one at a time. Colour, shape, number, and deeper in, the direction a piece faces. There is no gravity. When a piece leaves, the hole stays exactly where it was, and a hole in the middle of a line cannot be reached from either end. The board you are playing on is the board you made. HOW IT PLAYS • Three pieces wait in the rail. One is active — tap another to switch. • Drag off any edge to send the active piece in from that side. • It slides until something stops it, and docks in the last free cell. • Make three in a line where each attribute is all-same or all-different. • Stuck? Tap a docked piece to pull it back, if its path to an edge is clear. Out of 1,259,712 possible triples, 20,412 clear. About one in sixty. Finding one is not luck. THE DAILY CHALLENGE The same board for everyone, everywhere, every day. One attempt. A streak you can lose. Share how you did without giving the puzzle away. DOCKIT PRO • Deep — the full 6×6 board, where the arrow starts counting • Every helper uncapped • Unlimited daily retries One purchase. No subscription. Free is not a demo: the whole Ocean board, unlimited play, and the daily challenge every day. No timers. No lives. Nothing to wait for.
