Molehill: Brain-Logic Puzzle

Mole logic, Shikaku, Plumber. Find it with logic, never a guess. A fresh Daily Dig every day, and hundreds of drawings buried in the garden.

Molehill is a brain-logic puzzle set in Momo the mole's garden.

Every board hides moles: one in each colour region, one in each row, one in each column, and no two moles ever touch — not side by side, not corner to corner. Every board has exactly one answer, and the game proves it before you ever see it.

How you dig • One tap puts a × on a cell. × means: no mole here. Tap again to clear it. • Two fast taps dig up the mole. • Not sure yet? Press and hold to plant a maybe flag. Flags are free and never cost a heart. • Slide to mark a whole line of empty cells in one move. • Three hearts, and thirty seconds of clock for every row on the board.

Learn the techniques • Boards start at 5×5 and grow to 11×11, and get cleverer as they grow. • Five named deduction techniques — Lone Burrow, Full Row/Column, Tunnel Squeeze, Fence Count, Shadow Test — each with its own lesson. • The hint shows you where to look and why. It outlines the row, column or colour that forces the answer, instead of opening the square for you. • Four tools on the dock: Auto ×, 2× Time, Mole and Hint.

Two more puzzles in the garden • Plumber opens at level 27. Turn the pipes until the peanuts reach every burrow. • Shikaku opens at level 34. Cut the field into boxes, one number in each, and every box exactly as big as its number says. • After that, one of the two turns up every seventh level.

More to love • Daily Dig: one big 9×9 or 10×10 board every day, the same board for everybody, with double time. • A calendar of this month and the last, so a day you missed is still there to dig. • Hundreds of drawings are hidden in the boards. Dig one up and it goes into your Collection, with 16 milestone cards beside them. • A weekly league of eight tiers, from Dirt League up to Golden Peanut League. Finish in the top 10 and you climb. • Harvest peanuts, fill your winter pantry, and seal a jar every ten levels. • Dress Momo in twelve outfits — straw hats, beanies, crowns — all free. • Share a card of a board you solved. • In English, Turkish, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean and Russian.

Made for people who like sudoku, nonograms and star battle, and who would rather deduce than guess.

No signal? Keep digging. Up to twenty levels play with no connection at all — planes, metros, quiet evenings.
