One per row. One per column. One in every colour. And none of them may touch. Not Touching is a cozy logic puzzle. Every board has exactly one answer, proven before it ships, and you can always reach it by thinking. You never have to guess. FOUR WAYS TO PLAY • The Road: 500 levels in the app and more that download as you play, from gentle 6×6 boards up to 14×14. • Daily: a new board every day. Keep your streak going. • Rush: three minutes, as many boards as you can clear. • Zen: endless calm boards with no clock and no pressure. HINTS THAT TEACH Stuck? A hint starts with a nudge, then shows the reasoning, then the exact squares. You learn the move instead of just being handed it. CHOOSE YOUR WORLD Play among the Cats, or wander the Hollow after dark. Switching the look never changes your puzzle: the same board, a whole new world. MADE TO BE FAIR • Every puzzle has one solution, checked by count, not by hope. • Every puzzle can be solved step by step without guessing. • Colour is never the only clue: turn on region letters, and they appear by themselves when iOS Differentiate Without Color is on.
