Crux: Daily Logic Puzzles

Crux (n.): a puzzling or difficult problem; an unsolved question.

Crux is a daily logic-grid puzzle app for people who enjoy thinking things through. Each puzzle is a classic deduction grid (the kind you may know as an Einstein or Zebra puzzle): read the clues, eliminate what cannot be true, and work out how everything fits.

SEVERAL NEW PUZZLES EVERY DAY

Each day brings fresh grids across multiple difficulties, from the quick Hunch up through Expert, with richer clue types as the challenge grows. Optional narrative themes turn categories into short story clues, so the same logical workout feels different from day to day. Build streaks, earn achievements, and track your progress over time.
