Puzzle Day is a growing collection of bite-sized puzzles—fun, weird, and refreshingly different. Every week, a new one is added. Every day, a fresh challenge awaits. Hi, I’m Kurt. I’m a game designer and a dad. A few months ago, I lost my job. Instead of panicking (okay, I panicked a little), I decided to make you the best puzzle game on the planet! Puzzle Day is my way of turning that gamble into something real—one puzzle at a time. It’s a home for all the quirky little puzzle ideas I’ve had over the years but never got to share. Some are clever. Some are silly. Some are surprisingly tricky. All of them are built with care. Here’s what you’ll find inside: • Numby – The first of many! A clever little number-matching game with daily and random modes • Pathwords – Each words last letter is the next words first letter ... it's ... forget it, just try it • Burbs – Stranger Things meets Sudoku in this simple game of logic and deduction • Hoots – The smallest possible match 3 game you've ever played. It's fast, it's cute, and it's a hoot • New puzzle (almost) every week – I’m building and releasing new games right inside the app • Daily mode – Play once a day, share your score, and try to beat your friends • No accounts or logins – Just open and play • Quick and satisfying – Most puzzles take just a few minutes, but you’ll want to replay • Fun for your brain, not your wallet – You can support the app by watching ads (thank you!) and enjoy it for free Why I'm Doing This This app isn’t backed by a big company. It’s just me, in my home, designing, coding, testing, and sharing games. I’m also sharing the journey of trying to make $100K in 100 days by building indie games and posting about it on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube (@kurtiswow). Every ad you watch, puzzle you share, or kind comment you leave helps me get a little closer to that goal—and helps me support my family doing what I love. Coming Soon: More puzzle types (word, logic, grid-based, memory, timing) Achievements, streaks, and unlockables Special limited-time puzzles and events Your feedback! I’m reading everything and building features based on what players ask for Thanks for checking out Puzzle Day. I hope these little puzzles brighten your day the way building them brightens mine. — Kurt Follow the journey: @kurtiswow on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube

► HAVE YOU GOT A TALENT FOR SEEING THE BIG PICTURE? Were you one of those children who could spend hours with their puzzles, whiling away a rainy afternoon or cold winter’s day putting together a 500-piece jigsaw of the Eifel Tower or London Bridge? Well, now you can revisit your childhood on your smartphone or tablet from anywhere in the world. Melt away from reality with this captivating puzzle game that challenges you to use your thinking skills to connect virtual pieces in real time and create unique images of increasing complexity. Arrange a variety of items to produce a pretty picture right on your screen, while developing your abilities as you progress through the levels. You’ll never be bored again! ► GET YOUR JIGSAW ON…ANYWHERE! We all agree that solving puzzles is great fun, but it’s hardly practical to take one on the plane, train or bus. You’d be sure to lose some pieces and almost certainly run out of table space. Thanks to CPI, though, you can now get your puzzling fix wherever you find yourself. On your lunch break at work, waiting at the doctor’s office, or even standing in line at the supermarket, this one-of-a-kind game allows you to dive right in anytime. ► NO MORE INTERRUPTIONS Remember when your mom would call you for dinner right in the middle of a puzzle? There’s nothing worse than being cut short when you’re in the zone. Instead of one picture with many pieces, CPI offers you many pictures with few pieces. Now, you never have to stop mid-puzzle – just quickly finish the level you’re on and pause until you can get back to work. It’s that simple! ► PICTURE THIS Enjoy the thrill of recreating original artworks that get more and more complex as you progress through the game. From cute, animated characters and delicious dishes to space rockets and even a classic arcade machine, marvel at the wide range of enchanting images that materialize before your eyes as you connect piece after piece in this enthralling test of your thinking skills. ► TURN IT UP TO 100 Don’t you just hate it when a game is too short? Sometimes it seems like you’ve barely started and it’s already finished. With 100 progressively difficult levels to keep you occupied, CPI is one puzzle game that won’t disappoint. Start simple with 2-3-piece furry friends and go all the way up to double-digit brain teasers as you think your way to a hundred. You’ll forget what boredom felt like with this highly-addictive, drag and drop puzzler. So, if you’re the sort of person who prefers thinking to racing, running or shooting, then this is just the game for you. CPI means no more pieces to lose, all you need is your mobile device, and you can jigsaw anywhere. Lose yourself in a magical world and kill time with your favorite pastime…all from the comfort of your phone or tablet.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Puzzle Day at none against CPI's shown. Puzzle Day also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). CPI's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 11). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Puzzle Day against 4.5 for CPI. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CPI has 12K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 89% of Puzzle Day's written reviews are positive against 81% of CPI's.
Puzzle Day ships an update weekly, CPI every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on August 14, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
