AT YOUR OWN PACE • Five levels of difficulty for every kind of puzzle, from a gentle start to expert • Levels 1 to 999 for every kind of puzzle, with a stamp card • A puzzle you leave half-finished is still there next time • Statistics for each kind of puzzle: how many you solved, how quickly, and how you compare with the target time • A rating that grows with what you can handle, and a small celebration when you put a run together

QUIET PLAYING • For your first three hours of play you see no advertising at all • After that, at most one per forty minutes of play — never in the middle of a puzzle, and never just as you want to see your result • Everything works without an internet connection • Nothing is asked of you: no email address, no registration
