The Daily
This is the bit you’ll come back for.
At midnight a new board is dealt, and it is the same board for everybody on earth. Same stones, same pieces, same order. You get one attempt, which is what makes it worth thinking about before you drop a piece anywhere.
Play it well and you will watch your name climb a worldwide table. Miss a day and your streak goes back to zero, which turns out to be a remarkably good reason not to miss a day.
Wednesdays put eight stones in your way. Fridays are a sprint. Sundays go long. You will develop opinions about which day is yours.

Worldwide · Today
Top three every day, wherever they happen to be playing. Your own row sits pinned at the bottom of the table, so you never have to go looking for it.
Charge 2 of 3
Classic
When you want to keep going.
Classic does not end until the board beats you, and sooner or later it will start trying. That is what the ink is for. Two ink cells sit somewhere on the grid; clear a line through one and you bank a charge. At three charges you reach into the rack and swap a piece for one you actually want.
It is the move that turns a board you had given up on back into a puzzle. It is also the one thing The Daily does not give you, because everybody’s score has to mean the same thing.
Journey
Twenty puzzles that fight back.
Issue Nº1 is twenty hand-built levels with a fixed set of pieces and a board to clear. There is no luck in them. The pieces you are handed are exactly the pieces a solution needs, so when a level beats you, it is because you have not spotted it yet.
Three stars if you finish before you touch the spares at the end of the queue. Almost nobody does that on the first go.
Issue Nº1 · 20 levels
Three more reasons
Nothing to sign up for.
No email, no password, no continue-with-anything. You tap the icon and you are playing about four seconds later. Pick a name and a flag if you feel like it.
O’Coins.
You earn them by clearing lines, and spend them on an undo or on a second wind when Classic runs out of moves. You can buy more if you want to. You can also ignore them completely.
Worth sending to someone.
Your Daily result comes out as a properly typeset card with the board, your score and your streak on it. Put it in the group chat and let them try to beat it.
Today’s board is still up.
It is free, it takes two minutes, and everyone else is playing the same one. Tomorrow’s is already waiting.
