Built for People Who Know the Basics

Every feature below is in the app today.

Graded by Technique

Difficulty is the hardest technique a puzzle needs, rated by the Sukaku Explainer: five ranked circles from Sharp to Infernal, plus an unranked Warm-up.

6,000 Puzzles, No Repeats

A ranked puzzle is never dealt twice. A Daily puzzle, the same for everyone on the same day, comes with a streak and a Freeze to protect it.

Lives Are Rules

Ranked gives three lives, Precision gives one with no undo and no check, Practice is unlimited and never counts. Turning off wrong-digit highlighting never changes the rules.

Hints That Teach

Four steps: a move exists, which technique, the pattern on the board, then the digit. The first three never touch your rating; the digit marks the solve as assisted.

Learn From Real Positions

Twenty-two techniques to learn, each with an example found in a real puzzle, shown only when you press Show me.

Your Rating, On Your Device

A rating that moves with every clean ranked solve, a chart, and your time against par. Works fully offline; there is no account to make.

Descend One Circle at a Time

Ranked play that teaches as it goes.

  1. Pick Your Circle

    Five ranked circles from Sharp to Infernal, plus an unranked Warm-up.

  2. Ask for a Hint

    A move exists, which technique, the pattern, then the digit. Only the digit marks the solve as assisted.

  3. Watch Your Rating Move

    Every clean ranked solve moves your rating. Win your way one circle deeper.
