Ponder: Logic Puzzle Game

One rule per level. Find it, and the level is yours.

Ponder is a hundred hand-made logic puzzles with no timer, no lives and no score to chase. Each level shows you a board and waits. Nothing explains the rule. Working it out is the whole game.

WHAT IS IN IT

• 100 levels, each built around a single idea
• Answers you produce, not options you guess between
• Three hints on every level — the first one is always free
• No timers, no streaks, no daily pressure, nothing to miss
• Plays completely offline

A DIFFERENT KIND OF BRAIN GAME

Most logic puzzles teach you one rule and then give you two hundred variations of it. Ponder gives you a hundred different ideas. Some levels ask you to find the odd one out. Some ask you to put things in order, to balance a scale, to read a sequence, or to turn three rings until they line up. One of them is solved by not touching the screen at all.

None of them can be finished by tapping until something works. Where a level offers a choice, a wrong answer deals you a new puzzle rather than crossing an option off, so guessing gets you nowhere and reasoning gets you everywhere.

MADE TO BE QUIET

No energy bars. No spinning wheels. No character asking you to come back tomorrow. Ponder is built to be picked up for four minutes on a train and put down again without losing anything.

Sound, music and vibration can each be turned off. Reduced motion is supported for anyone who finds interface animation uncomfortable. Nothing in the game relies on colour alone to tell you what is what.

HINTS WHEN YOU WANT THEM

Every level has three hints, written to nudge rather than to answer. The first on each level is always free. Take one, or do not — the level is the same either way, and nothing is ever locked behind one.

REMOVE ADS

A single one-off purchase removes the between-level ads for good. Rewarded videos stay available because they are always your choice and they pay out a hint — and if you have bought Remove Ads, hints stop costing anything at all.

Ponder does not ask you to sign in, does not know your name, and works with the aeroplane mode on.
