Daybook Puzzles: Daily Sudoku
- Settings: Accessibility, and a daily reminder.
- Mines: tap a number to clear around it; bigger Expert squares; a mine ends the board.
- Levels ramp up over 100 levels.
- Hints point at the glowing square; Crossword gives a second clue first.
- The rules explain each tier. Lamps: hold for a lamp.
- Clearer colours and digits; word games skip grim words.
- Streaks count dailies solved on the day.
Every day brings a fresh set of classic pencil puzzles and brain games, each in three difficulties (Standard, Hard and Expert). The grid puzzles are built so they have exactly one answer you can reach by reasoning alone, with nothing to guess. Play one a day or as many as you like: a streak needs just one solve.
WHAT'S INSIDE
• Sudoku, and Cage Sudoku (killer sudoku, with sum cages)
• Nonogram picture grids
• Futoshiki-style inequality grids, Shikaku rectangles, LITS, Tents and trees, Regions
• Kings, a Star Battle-style crown placement; Sun & Moon, a Takuzu-style binary grid; Atoms, Hashi-style bonds
• Number puzzles: Tally sums, Cipher letter sums (cryptarithms) and Target arithmetic
• Dominoes: lay every tile so each coloured region keeps its rule
• Mines: clear a minefield by its numbers alone, never a guess
• Lamps: light every square, with no lamp shining on another
• Pearls: draw one loop through every black and white pearl
• Who's Who: match everyone to their house, pet and job from the clues
• Word puzzles: Lexicon (find the hidden word in a few guesses), Word Wheel, Codeword and a mini Crossword
• Codebreaker: crack a hidden colour code from scored guesses
• Mate: chess puzzles, mate in 2, 3 and 4
• Quick ones too: Pipes, Mosaic flood-fill, Trail one-line paths, Sand colour sorting, Sets, and Arrows, where every bump costs one of three lives
HINTS THAT TEACH
Stuck? Ask for a hint and Daybook explains the next step in plain language, pointing at the squares it is talking about. You make the move yourself, so you learn the technique instead of watching it get filled in. Every puzzle has a one-minute walkthrough, and its rules are always one tap away.
LEVELS AND ACHIEVEMENTS
Levels give you five boards from five different puzzles at a time; finish them and the next level opens. Achievements mark the milestones along the way, from your first Expert board to a week-long streak.
NO ADS. NO SUBSCRIPTION. NO ACCOUNT.
There are no adverts, no paywall, no sign-in and no in-app purchases. The app does not even ask for network access, so these are true offline puzzles: they work on a plane, on a train and in a tunnel.
THE WHOLE ARCHIVE, FROM DAY ONE
Puzzles are made on your device from the date, so every past day is already there. Missed a week? Play it. Want more? Switch to Random boards at any difficulty.
KEEP YOUR STREAK
Track your daily streak, your times and your statistics, all stored privately on your phone.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Daybook collects nothing. No analytics, no trackers, no third-party SDKs. Your progress never leaves your device.
PHONES AND TABLETS
Turn your phone on its side or play on a tablet and the board sits beside the controls.
PLAY ANYWHERE
The same daily puzzles run in a web browser at knowhowit.com.au/daybook, no install needed.
Open source, with hand-built puzzle generators, proven boards and a calm, uncluttered design. Come back tomorrow for the next one.
