Cantle
Read full descriptionHide full description
Cantle is a daily logic puzzle with one rule: two shapes joined by a line can't be the same color. There are four colors. The squares come already colored, and you color the circles. Every board has exactly one solution, checked before it reaches you, so you never have to guess. A NEW BOARD EVERY DAY Everyone in the world plays the same board each day, and a new one arrives at midnight UTC. Solve it and see your place on the day's leaderboard. Solve every day to build a streak. Every seven solves earn a freeze that covers a day you miss, and you can hold two. TWO DAILY BOARDS The Standard board is free for everyone. Cantle Pro adds the Hard board, a tougher daily puzzle with its own streak and its own leaderboard. FRIENDS AND DUELS Add friends with a six-character friend code and compare results on a friends leaderboard. Challenge a friend to a duel: you both get the same board and 24 hours to play it. EVENTS On some days of the year the daily boards are pictures for a holiday, like Halloween. Playing them earns free looks, and they stay yours. ACHIEVEMENTS Fifty-five medals for streaks, flawless solves, fast times, top places, practice, duels and friends, from bronze to legend. PRACTICE Unlimited boards on four levels, Seed, Theorem, Proof and Axiom, with your best time kept for each. Practice never touches your streak. Proof and Axiom come with Pro. THE ARCHIVE With Pro, every board since day one is ready to play. Playing a past board never changes your streak. MAKE IT YOURS Choose board themes, symbol sets and wallpapers, and build your own avatar. The Paper wallpaper, the Wax theme and the Sigils symbols are free. Paper is light, and the game can follow your phone between light and dark. Every color can show a symbol, so the puzzle stays easy to play even if you find colors hard to tell apart. NO ACCOUNT, NO ADS No email and no password: Cantle creates an anonymous profile the first time you open it. There are no ads and no third-party analytics. I make Cantle on my own. CANTLE PRO Cantle Pro is an optional subscription, monthly or yearly. It adds the daily Hard board, the full archive, and the Proof and Axiom levels in practice and duels. Board themes, symbol sets and wallpapers can also be bought one by one. Terms of Use: https://cantle.app/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://cantle.app/privacy/

Someone in the house is lying. Read the clues, pin every suspect to a room, and find the one who was alone with the victim. Whereabouts is a cozy murder sudoku: a floor plan of rooms, one suspect per row and column, and a short stack of statements that each rule something out. Place every suspect where they truly were, and the killer is whoever is left alone with the victim. EXACTLY ONE ANSWER, EVERY CASE Every case is checked before you see it: one solution, reachable by deduction alone. No guessing, no luck, no dead ends. NO ADS BETWEEN CASES Solve a case, start the next. Nothing plays in between. HINTS THAT EXPLAIN WHY Stuck? Ask the Chief. He walks through the next deduction on a copy of your board and explains the reasoning, so you learn the technique instead of copying an answer. Hints are earned by playing and spent only when you choose. A NEW CASE EVERY DAY Three daily boards, easy to hard, one attempt each. Your solve time goes on the world board next to everyone else's. Opens after level 10. TEN EPISODES, TEN PAINTED ROOMS Cases come in episodes, each set in its own painted room, from the manor to the train station. Every case you close adds something to the room, until it is complete and the suspects line up. Point at the guilty one to close the episode. BOARDS THAT GROW WITH YOU Start with a few rooms and suspects. Cases grow to eight rooms, with new kinds of clues along the way. Hard and extreme cases appear as you go, and cases never run out. SIMPLE TOUCH CONTROLS Tap a room to pin a suspect there. Switch to the pencil to note where someone might be, or to the marker to rule a room out. Prefer a press and hold? Turn on Hold to place in Settings. PLAY OFFLINE Every case is on your phone. No account, no sign-up, no connection needed to play. Only the daily case needs one. BOTTOMLESS CUP The whole season is free to finish. The optional Bottomless Cup keeps the coffee coming: unlimited coffee, unlimited hints from the Chief, and double gold from daily chests. Weekly or yearly (the yearly plan starts with a 3-day free trial for new subscribers), at the price shown in the app for your country. Payment is charged to your Apple Account, and the subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel it in the Settings app: tap your name, then Subscriptions. If you like murder sudoku, logic grids, whodunit deduction or a daily logic puzzle, this is your house.
