Every day at midnight UTC, a new board is generated and shared by all players worldwide. You have 24 hours to play it and submit your best score. Results appear on the global leaderboard. Your daily streak counts the consecutive days you've played.
In a PvP match, both players receive the same board. You play when you're ready — there's no live session. Each player has 24 hours per turn. When both players have submitted, scores are compared and a winner is determined.
Labyrinth is a dungeon-style mode of 18 sequential rooms of procedurally generated boards. Each room is harder than the last. You spend a 40-turn bank that carries across rooms. Rare cosmetics and big coin rewards await players who clear the full run.
Zen Mode and Focus Mode work fully offline. Daily Board, Daily Puzzle, and PvP require an internet connection. Offline scores sync automatically when you reconnect.
Coins are earned by playing — bonus coins for long words, daily streaks, level-ups and leaderboard placements. Coins are spent on powerups in-game and cosmetic items in the shop. Coin packs are also available via In-App Purchase.
