All the puzzles are generated by the app. Each puzzle type has its own generator. Some take a while to generate and I have to do them ahead of time, but Sudoku and X Sudoku generat…

For sure! And I know this isn't going to make a bunch of money or anything, but it's made a few bucks to help cover server costs, so that's pretty cool!

Good feedback. I do plan on continuing to add other kinds of logic puzzles to the site as time permits. I'll check out those sites!

Thanks for the feedback. I've done nonograms with a three strikes and your out style, so I based it off of that. I just couldn't find any without having to watch ads often before a…

Fair criticism. I appreciate the feedback! I thought I made the backspace key work on Sudoku. I'll look into that. I know "E" works for erase. Just checked it and if the incorrect …

For sure! I couldn't find an app with a good mobile UI without ads. I would've paid a few bucks for one, so I figured others might feel the same way.
