Step inside the corner five-and-dime and fill in a puzzle book by hand — with your Apple Pencil, your finger, or the keyboard. No ads, no rush, and the timer is yours to turn off.
It's a fill-in puzzle: you already have all the words. The fun is figuring out where each one goes — and the crossings are your clues.
Each puzzle has exactly one solution, so the last word always clicks into place.
All the charm of a newsstand puzzle magazine, with a few modern tricks.
On iPad, pick PENCIL to write right in the squares, or FINGER to write on a big pad beside the puzzle. On iPhone, write each letter on a roomy pad, with the words that fit shown right above it. Your handwriting is read on your device.
Prefer a keyboard? Pick KEYBOARD on iPad, or tap Keyboard on the iPhone writing pad. The keyboard never covers the puzzle. Tap the same square again to switch between across and down.
Scribble back and forth over a letter or a whole word, with your Pencil or your finger, and it wipes clean, just like real paper. Erased words get a little red ✕ on the list, so you remember you tried them there.
Cozy gently flags a wrong letter once a word is filled in. Challenge gives no hints — fill it all in, then press CHECK. The app remembers which one you like.
The shop bell rings when you walk in, your pencil scratches on the paper, pages turn with a riffle, and every solved puzzle gets its COMPLETED stamp. Puzzles run from easiest to hardest.
Your progress follows you across iPhone, iPad and Mac through iCloud. No account needed.
Not sure about a word? Turn on GUESS and your letters go in light gray. When you're sure, double-tap the word to ink it in.
The store front changes with the seasons — Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas — each with its own gentle background sounds.
See how long each puzzle takes you, or turn the timer off and take all the time you like. Sound can be switched off too.
