Loomora vs Loomwork

Loomora is a nonogram — picross, griddler, hanjie — reimagined as cross stitch. The board is a piece of linen. The numbers along each row and column tell you how the stitches are grouped: "3 1" means three in a row, a gap, then one. Read the clues, work out where the thread goes, and a small hand-made scene appears under your needle: a heart, a cat, a mushroom, a cup of tea. NO GUESSING. EVER. Every pattern is generated from a seed and then handed to a solver, and it is only kept if the solver can reconstruct it by pure line logic. That means the solution is unique and reachable by deduction — never by a coin flip. If you are stuck, there is something left to work out. DELIBERATELY KIND • A wrong square costs a star. It never ends the game • Marking empty squares with an X is free and never penalised • Undo goes back as far as you like, and a hint fills in a real square • No lives, no energy, no countdown, nothing nagging you to come back THREE WAYS TO PLAY • Campaign — boards grow from 5x5 to 12x12 as you do, with pinch to zoom on the big ones • Daily Challenge — one pattern a day, the same one for every player in the world, with times to compare and a streak to keep • Collections — four themed chapters of hand-picked patterns, some of them in colour, with a reward for finishing a chapter THE ALBUM Finished embroideries go into an album; the ones you have not stitched yet wait as an empty hoop. Any piece can be shared as a framed poster. FOURTEEN QUIET ACHIEVEMENTS First stitch, collector, a week's streak, a month's streak, level 25. Soft goals, no pressure. MADE TO BE READABLE VoiceOver reads every square and every clue. Colour-blind assistance gives each thread its own shape as well as its own colour, so a colour pattern is never a guessing game about hue. FREE, AND HONEST ABOUT IT The whole game is free and complete. Coins are earned by playing and pay for hints; you can buy them in packs if you would rather not wait — each pack says exactly how many coins it gives — or watch an ad to earn a hint without spending any. There are no loot boxes, no random rewards and no subscription: the only other thing you can buy is the themes, all of them at once and for good, and a theme changes the linen, the thread and the accent colour, never the puzzle. A hint fills in a square you could have deduced yourself; no purchase skips the logic, or a board. Ads pay for the rest, and one purchase removes them for good. PLAYS OFFLINE Everything except the daily leaderboard works with no connection at all. There is no account, no sign-up and no name: your progress lives on your phone.

Nonograms the way they should feel: calm, fair and beautiful. EVERY PUZZLE CAN BE SOLVED BY LOGIC Fill the grid from the number clues to reveal a hidden picture. Each Loomwork puzzle has exactly one solution, and a solver checks that it can be reached by line logic alone. No guessing, no 50/50s. NO ADS. NO LIVES. NO NAGS. No banners, no videos, no energy to wait out. A wrong mark never costs you anything. Choose Gentle (a wrong mark shows in soft red at once) or Classic (no checking until the grid is complete, as on paper). PICTURES THAT WEAVE INTO CLOTH Over 280 original pixel pictures, from 5×5 up to 40×40 showpieces, among them a Floating World of Japan, from a lucky cat to the Great Wave. Finish a picture and it weaves into its full-colour textile and joins your Loom gallery. SEASONAL PACKS Seasonal packs arrive through the year, each free to everyone in its season. A new picture comes out each day, with time after the last to finish them all. Weave a whole pack in its season and it becomes a keepsake quilt in your Loom. Pictures you start in season stay yours, and Loomwork Plus keeps every seasonal pack open after its season. PUZZLES WITH COLOURED CLUES In the colour packs, each clue number is coloured like its run. Runs of different colours can touch, and runs of the same colour need a gap, so colour becomes part of the logic. Paint with the puzzle's own threads. The free First Colours pack teaches the rules. BIG PUZZLES THAT FEEL GOOD ON A PHONE - Pinch to zoom and drag with two fingers to pan - Drag to fill a run, locked to its row or column - The row and column under your finger are highlighted - A magnifying lens shows the cells under your finger on big grids - The biggest grids open where their clues can be read, with the whole picture one tap away - Clue numbers cross themselves out as you complete runs, and finished lines cross off their empty cells - Lock finished lines if you like, so a stray tap can't change them - Soft, woven sounds and gentle haptics, each with its own switch ON IPAD TOO Play on iPad in any orientation, in Split View beside another app, in Slide Over or in Stage Manager. On a wide screen the grid takes the full height, with your tools beside it. HELP THAT TEACHES Stuck? A hint finds the next deduction and explains it in plain words, for example which cells a long run must cover. Hints and undo are unlimited (puzzles solved with hints are marked as assisted). ENDLESS AND DAILY - Endless: generated puzzles from 10×10 to 50×50, graded Easy to Expert, so there is always another - Each Endless puzzle is a named textile pattern, such as Herringbone, Tartan or Fair Isle, in one colour or in colour - The Sampler: a swatch book with a place for every Endless look at every grade, filled by the first one you weave - A daily puzzle, the same for everyone, with a streak and a calendar of the pictures you've woven - A daily reminder at a time you choose, if you want one (it's off until you turn it on) - A Home Screen and Lock Screen widget with today's puzzle and your streak - iCloud sync keeps your pictures, bests and streak in step across your devices - Times, bests and your solve history in Stats LOOKS THE PART Linen light theme and Indigo Night dark theme, both free, following your phone.
