Share your result. Practice Hundreds of puzzles across four difficulty tiers: 4x4 Noob warm-ups, 5x5 Pro grids, 6x6 Expert puzzles, and 7x7 Genius brain-burners. Every level is hand-rated by a constraint solver, so the difficulty curve is smooth and fair. Unlimited An endless run against a 60-second clock. Each puzzle you solve refills 20 seconds back on the timer, capped at 60. Puzzles get progressively tougher as your run climbs. How long can you keep the clock alive? HOW TO PLAY Every puzzle has the same four rules: - Place exactly one lighthouse in each colored region. - Beams shine the full length of the row and column from each lighthouse. - No two lighthouses may share a row, share a column, or touch in adjacent spaces, including diagonally. - Every cell must be lit by at least one beam. If you get stuck, spend a hint to place the hardest remaining lighthouse. Hints come from optional in-app purchase packs, or you can watch a short rewarded ad for a free one.

On ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.
