Tuckaway: Critter Logic

Welcome to Tuckaway, a cozy boarding house for sleepy forest critters — and a logic puzzle you can learn in two sentences.

THE RULES • Tuck exactly one lodger into every row, every column and every burrow. • Lodgers must never touch — not even diagonally. Shh!

That's it. Every board has exactly one solution, and you can always reach it by reasoning. No guessing required.

NEW LODGERS, NEW LOGIC As you travel through Adventure, new tenants move in and bend the rules: • Moles just need the eight squares around them to stay quiet. • Frogs also guard their L-shaped hop, like a knight in chess. • Owls watch their diagonals up to three squares away. Each new critter changes how you think, without ever adding clutter.

HINTS THAT TEACH Stuck? Ask the house badger. Instead of just pointing at a square, the hint explains WHY: "Every remaining square in the frog's burrow reaches this one, so it has to stay empty." Start with a gentle nudge, read the full explanation, or fill a square when you just want to move on.

A DAILY RITUAL • One Daily puzzle a day, the same for everyone in the world. • Solve it and a window lights up in your calendar boarding house — a month is a whole building. • Build your streak. Every 7 days earns a shield that protects a missed day, and you can repair a missed day for free within 48 hours by tapping its window in the calendar.

PLAY YOUR WAY • Adventure: hand-tuned chapters that introduce each critter step by step. • Classic: endless boards from 5×5 to 9×9 in four difficulty levels, from Gentle to Fiendish. • Unlimited undo, drag to mark squares, long-press to preview a critter's quiet zone. • Color-blind friendly patterns on every burrow.

COLLECT YOUR LODGERS Every board you solve moves a new lodger into your house. Collect every species in eight colors and fill your album.

A MUSIC-BOX SOLVE Every lodger you place plays a soft note. Finish a board and your whole solve plays back as a little lullaby.

RESPECTFUL BY DESIGN • No energy, no timers you can't turn off, no pay-to-win. • Unlimited undo, always. • Plays fully offline. No account, no sign-up. • Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Korean and English.
