16 games · a new board in each every day · no signup
Sixteen puzzles you solve with your eyes and a sense of space, one new board apiece every day. Five put a photograph back together, three test how closely you look, and eight ask you to move something through a tight spot: a red car out of a jammed lot, a block onto a spring, a die across a floor, ropes off each other, a route through a cast of mascots, a network between towns.
The photo puzzles start from real photographs. Jig cuts one into 80 interlocking pieces and Saw does the same to a tall portrait photo. Swap, Slide and Spin take the photographs the two jigsaws used in earlier weeks and ask a different question of each: the fewest swaps to unscramble it, the fewest moves to slide it home through one gap, the fewest taps to turn every square straight.
The observation puzzles reward a sharp eye. Spot puts two copies of one photograph side by side with seven differences between them. Witness shows a street scene for twenty seconds and then asks six questions about what you saw. Focus shows one photo at nine times zoom and pulls back a frame per miss.
The moving puzzles are about space. Parker, Impound and Junkyard are the sliding block puzzle in three sizes: get the red one out in as few moves as you can. Topple rolls a tall block end over end onto a spring, and Roll tips a die across the floor to light numbered squares in order. Tangled moves the pegs of crossing ropes until no two cross. Chomp eats a cast of mascots in order, and Paths links every town into one network for the least cost.
Jig if you want something calm. Spot if you like to look closely. Parker if you like a puzzle with a proven best answer, and Topple once Parker feels easy.

For the moving puzzles, yes. The sliding block puzzles, Topple, Roll and Paths measure you against a proven minimum, found by search before the board ships.
