In one sentence
Winters Puzzles is a multi-puzzle app for iPhone and iPad with 40 number, word, logic, spatial, card and quick-play games to play anytime, plus 21 fresh puzzles every day.
In a paragraph
Winters Puzzles brings 40 different puzzles into a single app for iPhone and iPad — Sudoku, Nonogram, KenKen, Kakuro, Word Search, Solitaire, Logic Grid, Minesweeper, Tessera and more. The full library is available to play anytime, and Pip’s dailies adds a shared set of 21 fresh puzzles each day.5 of the puzzle types can be written by hand and sent to a friend as a link, and curated and seasonal Collections offer sets of ten puzzles to work through in order. Generated logic boards are checked on the device before they are dealt, and hints are available when you want a nudge.
At more length
Most puzzle apps do one thing, which means somebody who likes both Sudoku and Solitaire ends up with two apps, two sets of statistics and two places to check. Winters Puzzles is built the other way round: one app, 40 puzzles, one streak, one set of stats, and one place to look.
The catalogue spans 7 categories — Numbers, Words, Logic, Spatial, Cards, Knowledge, Arcade — from a two-minute Memory Match to a full four-suit Spider deal. Nearly every board is generated on the device and checked before it is shown: Sudoku and Nonogram boards are verified to have exactly one solution, Minesweeper fields are built so they can be cleared without ever guessing, and every Gridlock shows the fewest moves it can be solved in, measured rather than estimated. The card games are the honest exception, where a real shuffle means not every deal can be won.
Alongside the library, Pip’s dailies offers one published board from each of the app’s 21 daily puzzle types, with an archive for earlier dates — and Collections group ten puzzles into a run, with seasonal sets that bring their own artwork and weather to the boards inside them and leave when the season does. The Create tab lets somebody write their own Trivia round, Word Search, Hangman, Moji or Number Sequence and share it as a link that carries the entire puzzle inside it — nothing is uploaded, and neither person needs an account.
